Mood Indigo

In a distorted, fantastical version of mid-20th century France, Colin lives his best life as a rich bohemian with no work. No bigger nuisance intrudes on his life than his friend Chick borrowing money to buy the books of famed intellectual Heartre. As Colin falls in love with beautiful Chloe his luck seems perfect. But things take a turn for the worse when Chloe falls ill with a water lilly growing in her lung. Colin is required to spend all of his saving on the only cure, freshly cut flowers. Soon he has to make dreadful considerations such as finding a job or selling his cocktail piano. Vian pokes fun at the European intellectual upperclass and their detached way of living in a story filled with surreal happenings and Wildean sharp dialogue.
