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.

Past rituals inflicted on the girls not only keep their bodies imprisoned, but also their minds, believing their silence and subservience dilutes their cursed lives. But, when someone from Baby's past becomes the newest recruit, Baby's carefully constructed world crumbles. Baby is confronted with guilt, complicity, and the crushing weight of unfulfilled dreams.
