France, 1891. The painter Paul Gauguin is already well known in Parisian artistic circles, yet he is tired of the so-called civilized world and its political, moral and artistic conventions. Leaving his wife and children behind, he ventures alone to the other end of the world, Tahiti, consumed with a desire for original purity, and ready to sacrifice everything for his quest. Impoverished and lonely, Gauguin enters deep into the Tahitian jungle, where he meets the Maoris and Tehura, his muse, who will inspire his most iconic works of art.
