Summary :
As it goes along with five artists : Manet, Degas, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, who changed the art of painting, this film presents an investigation on the artistic Parisian circles of the 1860’s.
Through documents of that period, the camera follows these painters in the studios where they are taught, in the cafés where they discuss, in the exhibitions where they show their works (or not). Continual backwards and forwards between the official scene and the marginality.
Out of Paris, we discover the places that inspired them, from the banks of the Seine to the beaches of Normandy where they walk and work.
