"An artist, two friends, and a dream...
In Arles, France, Vincent van Gogh seeks connection through his art, while Paul Gauguin hopes a creative revival will lead him to Tahiti.
When Vincent’s brother Theo brings them together, sparks fly, forging a new connection as their art is tested and possibly shattered."
