CGiii Comment

Bemusing, bewildering and beautiful - the surreal attracts little audience, the mystery does quite the opposite.

Merge them and this is a possible outcome - not for everyone...but, painstakingly detailed...demanding concentration and research.

As stated, not for everyone.

Two narrators, one seen and one unseen, discuss possible connections between a series of paintings. The on-screen narrator walks through three-dimensional reproductions of each painting, featuring real people, sometimes moving, in an effort to explain the series' significance.
