What happens

Vincent and Me (French-language title: Vincent et moi) is a 1990 French Canadian fantasy film. The movie was directed by Michael Rubbo and is the 11th in the Tales for All (Contes Pour Tous) series of children's movies created by Les Productions la Fête. Jeanne Calment appeared as herself, aged 114, the oldest person to ever appear in a motion picture, a fact that gained her a placing in Guinness World Records. Calment claimed to have met Vincent van Gogh ca. 1888 when she was 12 or 13. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
