Picasso: A Rebel in Paris takes an unprecedented and alternative look at the maestro of modernity. The film focuses on the story of a young immigrant, poor but destined to become one of the most important icons of the 20th century.

The film moves continuously in and out of the Musée Picasso in Paris, which has the largest existing collection dedicated to the painterwith 6,000 masterpieces and 200,000 pieces of archive material, and follows Picasso through the Parisian neighbourhoods where he lived, from the early days in ateliers with no heating to the large middle-class apartments where his success began: a physical and intellectual journey to gain a deeper understanding of his work and spirit.
