Plot
The artist, Modigliani, known as Modi, who is a leading figure of the bohemians in Paris, paints while drinking and living with the charming writer Beatrice, but rarely sells his paintings.
He meets a young and beautiful art student named Jeanne. However, Jeanne is locked up by her family, who prevents her from meeting Modigliani.
His friends, the Zborowskis, do their best to make Modigliani famous, and send him to Nice to recover his health, which was weakened by constant alcohol and tobacco.
Meanwhile, Jeanne, who has been locked up, flees and goes to Modigliani in Nice, after which the two become inseparable.
The Zborowskis, who returned to Paris, organize Modigliani's solo exhibition at the famous gallery of Madame Weill’s, where those who came to the opening have free drinks but nobody buys his paintings. Also, the police, who were dissatisfied with the exhibition, order the removal of a nude on the window. A cynical dealer Morel says that Modi will soon die, and people then will buy his paintings.
The Zborowskis meet an American millionaire who is interested in Modi's paintings, but he says he will use Jeanne's blue eyes for advertising his products, and Modigliani is disgusted at his saying.
Discouraged by the inability to combine the beauty contained in his paintings of Beatrice and Jeanne with commercial reality, Modigliani tries to sell his paintings going round cafés, but ends in vain. Collapsing in the street, Modigliani is taken to a hospital, where he dies alone.
Without telling what happened, the dealer Morel rushes to Jeanne and immediately buys all the unsold paintings of Modigliani for cash.
