00:00Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, May 9, 1889.
00:09My dear brother, I wanted to tell you that I think I did the right thing by coming here.
00:16Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, November 2022.
00:31Dear Vincent,
00:33I liked to rest in this cloister in which you lived for a year.
00:37I also liked to walk through the Park de la Clinique,
00:39I liked the smell of roses and irises,
00:41which every day kept me away a little more from my nightmares.
00:46The feet seem to be free,
00:48and the stars, and the moon,
00:52the big trees that protect us.
00:58Vincent, my dear Vincent,
01:01what do you feel when you paint?
01:03What feeling overwhelms you?
01:07Vincent, I am in my refuge in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
01:13I put my feet where you put yours, Vincent.
