Vincent is a painter and so is Paul. They're lovers, though history would tell you otherwise and call Paul Vincent's mentor. It's the 1880s in the South of France, and everything is gay gay gay. Vincent's sick, Paul's kind of a prick. They argue, they paint, they drink, they fuck. And then one night, Vincent cuts his ear off. Vincent van Gogh is a retelling of a story you maybe think you maybe know that looks at what stories stand the history of time and what is erased into the annals of queer history for the sake of straight folks' comfort.
