A dramatised autobiography of the artist Pablo Picasso, showing his paintings and sketches and talking about the inspiration for his work. Picasso talks about his family and his sister Lola, who was a huge inspiration. He tells how the one person he drew throughout his whole life was himself and that he used colours to show emotions.

The artist also talks about the day he decided to change the way he painted people. Rather than painting them the way they looked, he explored the face from different angles and tried to capture all of these at once. He demonstrates studying a person's profile and then their whole face to show how the facial features can appear to change when seen from a different angle. Finally Picasso encourages the children watching to cut up faces from magazines to make new ones using his techniques.
