Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, both young, headstrong and passionate, come together in a fictitious meeting devised in the comic mind of Steve Martin. It’s bohemian Paris, at the turn of the century and the earth has fallen quiet to listen to a conversation.
- Does Art Matter?
- Can Science Touch the Heart?
- Is Beauty truly in the Eye of the Beholder?
- Did Einstein and Picasso really only excel in their chosen fields in order to Get Girls?
With a little help from a mysterious, blue-suede shoe-wearing stranger from the future, these topics get debated in the best possible of environments – your friendly neighborhood bar, the “Lapin Agile.”
