From the film-maker:
A short animation exploring Van Gogh's depression as the symptom of humanity misunderstanding not his art but his subject, nature. Van Gogh explains from the window of his room at the asylum that the way we have changed our attitudes to Mother Nature is a sign of our ever-increasing ignorance of the beauty around us.

A piece inspired by Vincent van Gogh: Long Grass with Butterflies, 1890
