A riveting fictional account of the very real interaction between two great artists. “It’s in the eyes...they’re the hardest to get,” says painter Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew) as he struggles to commit brush to canvas. The subject is none other than Russian defector and ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, whom he has doggedly pursued to sit for him. Rudy’s patience is running thin as Jamie struggles not only to begin to paint, but to emerge from the shadow of his famous family. What started as a simple relationship between a painter and his fiery model becomes a deep friendship in which the two men trade poses, barbs, jokes, and unrevealed truths.
