Paris, 1928. Antoine Balestro, a young fashionable painter, can no longer work since his wife's death and disheartens Armand, his gallery owner.

The film achieves the feat of sketching characters haunted by suffering, while guiding them toward a luminous quest for love and beauty. It evokes a work "both melancholic and at the same time quite light-hearted," defined by Salvadori himself as a true "cheerful melodrama." Its strength lies in its writing: "That's what I like so much about this very refined writing. Themes emerge without being forced, without being heavy-handed."The Mask and the Pen
