Picasso and Minou

Minou, a robust Siamese cat, lives with young Pablo Picasso in a tiny Montmartre studio. He´s not fond of Picasso´s latest work--the bleak, sorrowful paintings from the Blue Period that won´t sell. When the money runs out, Picasso sends Minou into the streets to find his own food, and the resourceful cat trots home with sausages donated by a boisterous crowd of circus performers. A delighted Picasso follows Minou back to the circus, where the artist is inspired to paint a series of joyous, rosy paintings, which are a huge success. Picasso sees sadness everywhere, and the artist´s struggle to survive is real.
