Local Color Plot and Cast
A successful artist recalls the summer of 1974, when he was a talented but troubled 18-year-old aspiring painter. He forms a tentative friendship with a brilliant elderly alcoholic who has turned his back on art and life. The young man seeks the secrets locked inside the old master, whose life seems pointless until the kid rekindles his interest in work and gives him the will to live. Each gives the other a priceless gift: the kid learns to see through the master's eyes, and the master rediscovers innocence. Based on a real-life experience.
