A tender, visually luminous portrait of artistic inspiration and familial bonds set against the melancholy backdrop of wartime recovery on the Côte d'Azur.

In the French Riviera in the summer of 1915, Jean Renoir, son of the Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste, returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I. At his side is Andrée, a young woman who rejuvenates, enchants, and inspires both father and son.
