Film is based on imaginary correspondence between Dragutin Trumbetaš and genius painter Van Gogh by pictures-letters in which Trubetaš identified with a famous, unhappy and misunderstood artist. Film is a story of two artist, two faiths, but also a visual story on Trumbetaš’ Turopolje and Posavina on one hand, and Van Gogh’s Netherlands, Provance and Ille de France on the other.
