Born in Livorno, Tuscany, ‘Modì,’ lived a short, tormented life, narrated here from an original point of view, that of his young common-law wife, Jeanne Hébuterne. Together with the Russian aspiring poetess Anna Akhmatova, and the English journalist Beatrice Hastings, these were the women he painted, and whose faces, became the very icons of his art. The action of the film unwinds through museum halls, enriched by the works of the Albertina in Vienna, Livorno’s City Museum, as well as the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the great museums and art collections in Paris.
