A biographical drama exploring the passionate, complicated relationship between two artists—master and protégé—set against the backdrop of late 19th-century artistic creation.

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), man of the people, autodidact and revolutionary sculptor - the most brilliant of his era. At 42, Rodin meets Camille Claudel, a young woman desperate to become his assistant. He quickly acknowledges her as his most able pupil, and treats her as an equal in matters of creation.
