The rags-to-riches story of Brazilian-born painter Romero Britto who moved to Miami in 1986 to chase happiness and find himself as an artist.
BRITTO: THE ART OF HAPPINESS is the colorful coming-of-age story of Romero Britto. A sweet and curious boy from the slums of Brazil, starved for affection, begins a lifelong search for beauty and happiness that will take him around the world before landing in 1980s Miami, a city defined by blurred lines. Armed with a mischievous spirit as bold as the colors he sees in his extraordinary visions, he is thrust into the limelight and must learn to differentiate between validation and exploitation, seduction and distraction. More importantly, he must confront the pain of his childhood before he can redraw the boundaries of the fine art world.
