In 1926, Claude Monet dies surrounded by fog — and by doubt. He has painted hundreds of water lilies, but refuses to exhibit them. He nearly abandons his greatest project. What happened to the confidence of France’s most celebrated painter?
In this final episode, we follow Monet into seclusion — as his eyesight fails, his temper flares, and his paintings become more radical than ever before. While the world waits outside the gates of Giverny, it is his oldest friend, Georges Clemenceau, who pushes him to finish what he started. Their unlikely bond — between artist and statesman — becomes the reason Monet’s water lilies are ever seen at all.
