Synopsis:

Julien Temple directs this modern and personal take on an extraordinary story. Vigo is a tragic but inspiring film, about the passionate relationship between French film-maker Jean Vigo and his beautiful wife Lydu. The film is interspersed with extracts of Vigo's work.

A couple find love in a sanatorium. Jean Vigo and Lydu Lozinka both suffer from tuberculosis, but their love for each other allows them to live more in the time that they have together than most people do in a lifetime.
