Vreeland (Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Forest Lover) brings to vivid life the subjects in Renoir's famous painting, Luncheon of the Boating Party. The scenes shift between Paris & La Maison Fournaise, illuminating Renoir's double crisis at a time when Impressionism itself begins to disintegrate, the art market turns ever more mercenary, and Renoir himself is forced to determine the directions of both his personal life and creative expression.
