The film uses an undeliverable letter to connect Van Gogh's secrets with the three most important characters in his life in the last six weeks before his death, taking the audience back to Europe at the end of the 19th century and accompanying Van Gogh for the rest of his life. The film uses the archetypes of the characters in the Van Gogh paintings to restore Van Gogh's artistic life, allowing the audience to discover hidden secrets for a century and a half while enjoying the suffocating visual feast.
