The fate of Alphonse Mucha, a brilliant graphic artist and self-made man, whose glory was born almost overnight thanks to collaboration with the actor star of Paris, Sarah Bernhardt. His posters, applied art, and paintings became world-renowned. Still, he did not hesitate to leave Paris at the height of his success to fulfil his artistic dream – to create a monumental work for his nation. Mucha’s life tells us that something new and unique can only be born if you are prepared to hold to your vision and risk your whole future. A new view of Alphonse Mucha‘s life based on exclusive and unpublished correspondence, diaries, and autobiographical writings. (3Kino Fest)
