Gastien: The Cost of the Dream

Gastien has dreams far bigger than a mere peasant has a right to. He leaves the farm for Paris, to pursue the life of an artist. His father belittled his dream and tried to beat him into giving it up. The dream wouldn't die, but Gastien would have had he not left. However, the city of Paris has a ruthless agenda. Unless a man has money and connections, Paris unfeelingly crushes dreams and destroys souls. Left with only dreams, Gastien stubbornly pushes on. He vows that absolutely nothing will stop him, not yet realizing what keeping that vow might mean.
