After Vincent cut off his own ear, brother Theo, now happily married to wealthy compatriot Jo Bonger, sees to his medical and mental treatment. Afterward Theo arranges for the artist, whom he won't take into their new Paris home, to stay in a seemingly peaceful Auvergne village.

It ends with a fatal gunshot, which may be suicidal, accidental or a struggle with neighboring adolescent scamps who often bulled the foreign weirdo.
