A successful artist fondly reminisces about the pivotal summer of 1974. During this time, an ambitious yet troubled 18-year-old artist-in-the-making forms a friendship with a brilliant but disillusioned elderly painter who has abandoned both his craft and his zest for life. Initially, their relationship seems fragile, as the young artist is eager to uncover the secrets hidden within the master’s mind and heart. The years have not been gentle to the old painter, and he finds his existence meaningless until the young artist reignites his passion for art, ultimately restoring his desire to live. In their journey together, they exchange invaluable gifts: the young artist gains a new perspective on the world through the master’s eyes, while the master rediscovers the purity of life through the eyes of youth. This narrative is inspired by true events.
