 Summary
In childhood, Pablo Picasso shows talent for painting and is sent to the Academy of Arts in Madrid. Eventually, he becomes a painter, but is forced to live in poverty in Paris.
One day, he is discovered by a wealthy American, and begins to earn money for his art. However, he wastes his talents painting plates.
In Paris during the 1920's, he meets many famous people of the time: Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Apollinaire, Hitler and Churchill.
The film is a comedic and somewhat satirical account of the artist's life.
