I feel the standard "plot" is misconceived - the documentary is about his life and legacy- his life in Peru, France, with his family in France, with Vincent Van Gogh, the manifestations of his interests and desires are explored and balanced.
The time of colonialism was (and still is) prevalent in many aspects of our lives and beliefs and cultures. Gaugin's story and artwork is a part of the changing world in the latter part of the 19th century.
The discussion of his art, its techniques as well as family, life, and women are all part of a portrait painted quite well in this documentary.
Any fan of art or history will enjoy this.
