Years ago, Chinese artist Shen Jianhua moved from Shanghai to a remote mountain village. His drawing lessons have a profound effect on the lives of his pupils, while his home has become an open house to those seeking to communicate through creative expression. A documentary that captures the breathtaking simplicity of life in the mountains, through frames as stunning as Shen’s paintings, reminding us that, ever so often, beauty lies no further than before our very eyes.
