From canvas to canvas, from colorful landscapes of Provence and Brittany to floral bouquets, we enter the very distinct world of figurative painting. This isn't the world of major salons, but that where canvases are painted in great numbers and sold (by the thousands each year) in picture frame galleries, gift shops and during auctions held in hotels in the French provinces. This comic documentary shows us a market where everyone at his own level develops spiels and strategies to transform a modest, hand-painted oil into an authentic work of art.
