Artist Paul Gauguin is tired of Paris and its artistic conventions. Leaving
his wife and
children behind, he ventures alone to Tahiti, consumed by a yearning for
original purity and ready to sacrifice everything for his quest. Impoverished
and solitary, Gauguin pushes deep into the Tahitian jungle, where he meets
Tehura, his muse, who would go on to inspire his most iconic works of art.
