A British artist fails to attend his parents' wedding anniversary in order to complete a last-minute commission to sketch beautiful landscapes across Cornwall, but memories of their conversations begin to affect his work along the way. This is an experimental film that collages oral history and archives with a fictional narrative to explore themes of displacement, lineage, and the construction of meaning.
