A documentary about context in modern painting. A modern painter is shown at his work and an insight given into modern figurative art and its conceptive origins. The film follows the painter Tryggvi Ólafsson at work, both in his homeland, Iceland, and in Denmark where he lives. The account is in part biographical where it helps to analyze an ongoing creative process as it emerges in the work of a mature artist.
