Wilhelmina Barns-Graham was a painter, a visionary, an artist. She saw the world in a unique way. One day in May 1949, Barns-Graham, aged 36 climbed the Grindelwald glacier in Switzerland. She experienced an epiphany which rewired her brain and transformed her art. Through a cinematic immersion into her art and life, filmmaker Mark Cousins explores themes of gender, neurodiversity, climate change, and the mysteries of creativity from youth to old age.
