The artistic portraits of various art people from all over the world, from various areas of art and different time such as Ivry Gitlis, Khatia Buniatishvili, Silvana Mangano, Chopin, Beethoven, Schumann, Rachmaninov, Maria Theresa von Paradies, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, Gerard Philippe (those who are really starring and those who are still present in the film despite space and time distance) are synthesized and united and unified in a one whole epic portrait of an artist per se. And all this is unified by means of the most simple and abstract word that is LOVE.
