Synopsis:
In 1930, the 60-year-old Matisse feels one last time the urge to travel and encounter otherness. He boards a boat to Polynesia, which will eventually come to influence the final 25 years of his artistic life, taking him to the cusp of contemporary art. Polynesia will also catalyze a search for himself, leading Matisse to voyage to the heart of his own spirituality.
