Project Detail

The Magic Of Vincent

Synopsis

This is a story of when boundaries begin to blur. When life imitates Art and Art wins. For several years Van Gogh was under the care of Dr. Gachet. It was a period of immense creativity and comparative contentment.

Peter Saunders is a successful modern artist who suffers from hypochondria. His condition has been confined to all the usual ailments found in any medical textbook until two key events catapult him far beyond the realm of any known medical diagnosis.
