The film follows Amedeo Modigliani, portrayed by Riccardo Scamarcio, as he deals with poverty and antisemitism in 1916 Paris while dreaming of escaping the chaotic city. His challenges increase after a bar fight, leading him to hide from the police. Modigliani's dealer, Leopold Zborowski, provides some hope when he mentions a wealthy collector interested in his work. Despite an impressive cast and lavish production, the story suffers from clichés and a dated perspective, leading to a portrayal of Bohemian life that lacks depth and authenticity.
