AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE AND THE SUICIDE OF HIS SON, ZDZISŁAW BEKSIŃSKI, DISCONNECTED FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD, TRIES TO EXIST IN THE EMPTY APARTMENT. THE ONLY COMPANY IN HIS TERRIFYING LONELINESS COMES IN THE FROM OF RECORDED FOOTAGE OF THE ARTIST’S LOVED ONES. ACTING AS WITNESSES TO HIS HARDSHIP ARE THE CHARACTERS FROM HIS PAINTINGS, WHO ‘WATCH’ HIM FROM ALL THE WALLS. ZDZISŁAW TRIES TO GO BACK TO THE OLD NORMAL. AN ILNESS FORCES HIM TO ACCEPT HELP FROM AN EQUALLY AS LONELY, YOUNG PHYSIOTHERAPIST. THE CANVAS, TOUCHED BY A BRUSH, AND A BODY, HEALED THROUGH TOUCH, ARE TWO SIDES OF A PROCESS, WHICH BRINGS HOPE TO THE BOTH OF THEM.
