Documentary

The story of the family life of the brilliant Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and the Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova appears as a problem of choosing between the values of life and the goals of art. The necessity of this choice turns sublime love into a struggle for extermination, which, in turn, fuels the creativity of the great artist no less than love.
