The story

The young artist Françoise Gilot meets Picasso in Le Petit Benoit, a small bistro on the Left Bank, in Nazi-occupied Paris, and Picasso invites her and her friend to visit him at his home and studio at 7 Rue des Grands-Augustins. After doing so and flirting with Picasso she decides to become a painter against her father's wishes. Françoise is beaten by her father after telling him she wants to be a painter, rather than a lawyer.
