Description:

Set in the year 1891, the film portrays the story of French painter Paul Gauguin as he abandons Paris in pursuit of artistic freedom. Growing disillusioned with the rigidity of European art, Gauguin ventures to the idyllic island of Tahiti where he hopes to rediscover his passion and creativity. Amidst a landscape brimming with natural beauty, Gauguin confronts his share of hardships: isolation and illness challenge him at every turn. Yet, it is within this raw environment that he encounters Tehura, a young native girl who becomes not just his muse but also his wife, providing the emotional sustenance he needs to fuel his art. The film masterfully depicts Gauguin's personal struggle for artistic expression against the backdrop of a breathtaking island paradise, offering viewers an insightful look into the artist's world and the transformative power of love.
