Picasso Blue is an aspiring painter who wants to achieve the notoriety that Picasso achieved with his art and life.
Blue convinces Tomas, a poet friend, to move to downtown Los Angeles to experience the outcast, the poverty and a forced depression so that he can trigger Picasso's Blue Period.
Tomas' obsession with a woman named Sally takes him on an emotional rollercoaster ride with tragic results that leads Blue to sexual relationship with women to achieve his goal to have a Picasso voice in his work.
Because Blue idolizes Tomas as the perfect love, this triggers surrealist journey into his mind where he is confronted by two characters from Picasso's work "The Weeping Woman" and "The Minotaur".
The Weeping Woman is warring with the Minotaur to see who will have dominance over Blue's artistic vision.
Blue is guided from the sidelines by Gertrude to instruct him on the true meaning of Picasso's work so that Blue can learn to have his own genuine voice.
As Blue falls deeper into his own Blue Period, he realizes his two choices: walk the tightrope of madness and genius to become an authentic visionary or walk in the foot steps of the Masters and always receive crumbs from the table.
