The passionate relationship between Jeanne Hébuterne and Amedeo Modigliani begins in 1916 in Paris and is still considered one of the most tragic love stories in the art world. At just 18 years old, Jeanne Hébuterne meets the 14 years older Amedeo Modigliani during her painting studies in Paris, and it is love at first sight. She leaves her family home and follows the impoverished painter to the artist district of Montparnasse. During World War I, the couple flees to Nice, leaving all familial ties behind. However, the passionate, excessive love between Modigliani and his muse develops an increasingly destructive force.
