Manuel Kaminski who entered the art world as Matisse’s student and Picasso’s friend at one time, became famous with the nickname, “blind painter” after losing his sight. One of the most interesting legends of the history of modern art, Kaminski has not shown his face in public for a long time. In fact, there are even those who presume he is long dead. Sebastian Zöllner, a self-ordained and opportunistic journalist, reaches Kaminski’s home in a secluded village in the Swiss Alps. In the end, Zöllner unexpectedly finds himself on a journey with the legendary painter. This film brings together director Wolfgang Becker and actor Daniel Brühl for the first time in 12 years after Good Bye, Lenin! The actor and director are accompanied by many famous European actors in both large and small roles.
