Amidst personal crises, two unlikely partners collide in a New York art workshop, an uptight Wall Street executive and a free-spirited artist, which sparks an inspirational journey of growth, laughter and self-discovery.
"THE ART OF STARTING OVER" unfolds the dynamic and unforeseen collaboration between two men who couldn't be more different. Leo, a passionate young artist, lives in the vibrant heart of New York City and dreams of a successful career in the art world. He keeps himself afloat with the help of a dull office job. Robert, a seasoned Wall Street executive with a successful career in the corporate world, feels empty and alienated from his hectic city life and is looking for a more meaningful beginning. Their meeting? A twist of fate. Desiring a creative change of pace, they both independently sign up for a painting workshop, where they are brought together by Evelyn, the workshop's director. The imposed assignment from Evelyn? To work together on a piece of art, leading to an entertaining journey filled with conflict, funny moments and inspiration.
During this colorful mess, they discover a secret: Both, art and life require a fresh start, and sometimes you have to risk everything to truly win.
Their journey culminates in a joint artwork for an upcoming exhibition. But during a disagreement between the two, their masterpiece is accidentally destroyed. After frustration and anger, Robert's newfound artistic insight inspires an impromptu idea with Leo in Times Square. This action attracts the attention of many people, and especially of Victor Laurent, a renowned art collector and critic, who offers them to exhibit their artwork at his gallery.
In the end, their shared experiences not only redefine their understanding of art, but also forge a bond that transcends their differences and proves that sometimes a fresh start is a masterpiece.
