1915. Sur la Côte d'Azur. Au crépuscule de sa vie, Auguste Renoir est éprouvé par la perte de son épouse, les douleurs du grand âge, et les mauvaises nouvelles venues du front : son fils Jean est blessé... Mais une jeune fille, Andrée, apparue dans sa vie comme un miracle, va insuffler au vieil homme une énergie qu'il n'attendait plus. Éclatante de vitalité, rayonnante de beauté, Andrée sera le dernier modèle du peintre, sa source de jouvence. Lorsque Jean, revenu blessé de la guerre, vient passer sa convalescence dans la maison familiale, il découvre à son tour, fasciné, celle qui est devenue l'astre roux de la galaxie Renoir. Et dans cet éden Méditerranéen, Jean, malgré l'opposition ronchonne du vieux peintre, va aimer celle qui, animée par une volonté désordonnée, insaisissable, fera de lui, jeune officier velléitaire et bancal, un apprenti cinéaste...Set on the French Riviera in the summer of 1915, this lushly atmospheric drama tells the story of celebrated Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his son Jean, who returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I. When Andrée, a free-spirited, beautiful young red-head enters their lives, they are both smitten. The elder Renoir, in declining health at age 74 and tormented by the loss of his wife, is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy as Andrée becomes his last muse and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation. In the face of his father’s fierce opposition, Jean too falls under Andrée’s spell, and his transformation from a battle-weary son to a budding filmmaker, begins.
