Synopsis:
A successful artist looks back with loving memories on the summer of his
defining year, 1974. He befriends an elderly alcoholic genius painter who
has turned his back not only on art, but on life. The two form what appears
to be a tenuous relationship at first, between a student and master. The
student wants to learn all the secrets the master has locked away inside his
head and heart. But time has not been kind to the old
master and his life and work have lost their meaning. Over the course of the
summer the student's enthusiasm and innocence rekindles the master's
artistic passion.
Together, they give one another a priceless gift. The student learns to see
the world through the eyes of an artist, while the master remembers how to
see past the ugliness in life and once again embrace the beauty. This story
is based on a real life experience.

Liked the subject matter by marko03
Good cast. Really liked the subject of painting. Maybe it's just me, but growing up, I was always fascinated by movies about painting.
