- The painter Burne-Jones and his famed painting "The Beggar Maid" are depicted in this speculative drama about the creation of the painting. Burne-Jones plays matchmaker for a young British nobleman who has fallen in love with a servant girl on his estate. The artist shows that love can thrive between members of different classes by depicting on canvas a picture from Tennyson's poem about the love of King Cophetua for a beggar maid. As he relates the story of the poem in words and through his painting, the young earl sees the application to his own situation.
- For several years, Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich traveled around in Russia and Belarus to investigate the relationship to love of the Russian people. One, as Svetlana means, is an acute shortage of today's society.
- Adapted from the work of artist George Frederick Watts, a highly artistic subject that tells a short dramatic story in which "Hope" is pictured through the lighthouse keeper's daughter who never despairs, nor gives up hope, even when the people of the village turn against her and they tell her her husband has been lost at sea.
- The painting by the same title was done by Josef Israels, and now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A charming little story is woven around the characters pictured in the painting. The scenes are laid somewhere in Europe, where the peasants wear wooden shoes and make fine lace. The artist has painted a landscape when the characters walk on. Youth and bashful love inspires the painter, and he starts to work putting in the figures. A little drama evolves from innocent circumstances. The suitor is suspected of theft, the adopted child is taken away, and in the fight the pet dog is killed. But love wins out in the end. The production concludes with a shot of the original painting.
