Picasso

Picasso

A young seventh grade student, Gandharva Pandurag Gawade, from a remote village in the Konkan belt of Maharashtra, is selected for the national level of the Picasso Arts Scholarship. The winner of the competition gets to travel to Spain – Picasso's birthplace – to hone their art. Gandharva informs his parents about his selection and also a fee that needs to be paid in order to proceed to the next level of the competition – but his parents tell him that they cannot afford it. Gandharva's father Pandurang is a Dashavatari artist and is performing in the nearby village. He was once an accomplished actor, but his alcohol addiction now stands in the way of him performing. With an ailing mother and a father struggling with debt, the chances of Gandharva being able to participate look slim. Will Pandurang be able to fight his demons and bring his art back to life – and will Gandharva be able to fulfil his dreams of going to Spain? Picasso is a story about fathers and sons, hopes and dreams - of life imitating art, and how art can heal lives.
