Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti

The journey begins.

A semi-biographical portrait of artistic escape and romantic awakening, following Gauguin's flight from European convention to Tahitian freedom and love.

In 1891, the French painter Paul Gauguin leaves Paris and travels to Tahiti to renew his art as a free man, far from the European artistic conventionalism. On his journey of discovery, he faces solitude and disease, but he also knows the beauty of wild nature and the love of Tehura, a young native girl who becomes his wife and model.
