本片刻画了法国文学巨匠埃米尔·左拉和印象派绘画大师塞尚之间著名的决裂。在普罗旺斯如诗如画的乡间,年轻的左拉和塞尚彼此欣赏和启发,共同探讨艺术的真谛,结下了深厚的友谊。随着二人在各自的艺术领域里不断接近自己的理想,现实主义的左拉和浪漫主义的塞尚最终无法继续彼此理解。他们的友谊也走到了尽头。A historical drama traces the lifelong friendship between two renowned 19th century French artists - painter Paul Cézanne (Guillaume Gallienne) and writer Emile Zola (Guillaume Canet) - from their first meeting as schoolmates to their creative rivalry as fame and success continue to elude Cézanne.
