From the film-maker:
‘Sunflowers’ represents a happy phase in Van Gogh’s life which was otherwise sombre. First I tried to write a tragic story, but I felt that I could not express it in the time constraint of three minutes. Later I changed it to comedy. So I included sunflowers as a catalyst in the story. I tried to keep it as simple, and on the surface, as I could. Although in the painting, the Sunflowers are more than just a mere object, I used them quite literally in my film.
