Actors Olivier Cruveiller, Jean-Claude Dreyfus
L'histoire se déroule dans la Chine médiévale. Enfermé dans le chariot qui l'emmène au palais de l'empereur en compagnie de son maître Wang-Fô, le jeune disciple se souvient de sa première rencontre avec le peintre, puis de la fascination progressive qu'il a éprouvé pour ses tableaux : lorsque Wang-Fô peignit plusieurs portraits de l'épouse du disciple, ce dernier en vint à trouver les portraits plus beaux que son épouse réelle, au point qu'elle finit par se donner la mort. Après ces flashbacks, Wang-Fô et son disciple parviennent au palais et sont amenés devant l'empereur. Wang-Fô implore l'empereur de le pardonner s'il a, d'aventure, réalisé un mauvais portrait de lui par le passé. L'empereur le détrompe, et, pour lui faire comprendre ce qu'il lui reproche, lui raconte son histoire. Dès son enfance, l'empereur vit seul au palais, parmi les tableaux de Wang-Fô dont son père était un admirateur. Après de longues années à grandir parmi les sublimes tableaux du maître, l'empereur, parvenu à l'âge adulte, découvre pour la première fois le monde réel, mais celui-ci lui paraît laid et méprisable comparé aux images qu'en peignait Wang-Fô. C'est là ce que l'empereur reproche au peintre : Wang-Fô lui a inspiré le dégoût de son propre royaume, et le désir d'un royaume d'images sur lequel il ne pourra jamais régner.
