Join this Starry Night swirl of an adventure through the breathtaking world of Vincent van Gogh's paintings. In a small French village, the shy and eccentric van Gogh is teased by the local children for being unusual. Only young Marguerite Gachet is willing to look past his angry red hair and freckled face. In accepting van Gogh, she is introduced to his otherwise overlooked art, full of bright colors and bold swirls of paint. Van Gogh has never sold a painting in his life, but when Marguerite needs a miracle, he is able to create a masterpiece. His enchanted almond blossom will save the day. Adapted from the famous O.Henry story "The Last Leaf" and set within Vincent van Gogh's most stunning paintings, Almond Blossoms is a magical reminder of the power of art.
