Summary:March 1969. In just a few months, Americans will land on the moon and the world will be different. A young man steps into the Malborough Fine Arts gallery in London to see an Oskar Kokoschka exhibition. He wants to hear what it can cost to get the Austrian artist to paint a portrait of his grandmother. The grandmother is none other than the famous detective story writer Agatha Christie and the portrait is intended as a gift for her 80th birthday. Very reluctantly, the two aging artists join for the project and in six sessions they approach each other, revealing the fears and desires that shape a creative life. It will be a conversation about death, love and art - in any order.
