Stefan finds that he can no longer tolerate the arrangement of his cheating wife … he, the husband, gets her during the week and her lover gets her on the weekends. At the same time the wife finds herself increasingly drawn to the violence of her lover versus the adoration of her husband.
After his beloved wife dies, an unbalanced painter who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Vincent Van Gogh goes over the edge and digs up her corpse–with the help of his necrophiliac butler–to bring it back to his castle and use it for “inspiration”. He soon meets a beautiful musician who looks exactly like his late wife and brings her back to his castle. However, she eventually discovers their secret: the butler murders young women, disposes of their bodies and uses their blood–“the color of life”–for the artist’s paints.
