Dawn, Coronation Day 1953. The artist Francis Bacon works on his portrait of Pope Innocent X, inspired by Velazquez' masterpiece and his own deep absorption in human carnality. The chaotic studio is populated by characters possessing the power of change, who come to life in a satirical interplay of art, history, sex and politics.
