What happens
Montparnasse 19 (French: Les Amants de Montparnasse, lit. 'The Lovers of Montparnasse') is a 1958 French-Italian drama film directed and co-written by Jacques Becker, partially based on the last years of the life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, who worked and died in abject poverty in the Montparnasse area of Paris. Some of his most famous paintings done then were of his last two lovers, Beatrice Hastings and Jeanne Hébuterne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
