On July 29th, 1890, in Auvers-sur-Oise, the painter Vincent van Gogh died by suicide. Marguerite, the daughter of his physician, Dr. Gachet, was one of his last models. The experience starts in the home of Dr. Gachet where Marguerite reminisces about the artist.
She takes the viewer on a journey through his palette of colours and famous works: in Provence, where he nearly lost himself in his quest for the "high yellow note"; the reds and greens of the cafés along the Rhône River; the vivid colours of the night sky; and in the fields of Northern France, where he explored the pure colours of exhilaration and passion.
