A short film inspired by incidents in the life of French painter Maurice Utrillo (1883-1955), famous for his lively paintings of life in the village of Montmartre in Paris. The film focuses on his relationship to the mother, Suzanne Valadon and his friend André Utter. We meet him as a lonely kid, living with his grandmother and later on as an alcoholic 25 year-old about to have his breakthrough as a painter. Although inspired by the painter's life, the film is not meant to be biographical, and certain elements are of pure fiction.
