Woven together from 20 years of footage shot around the world, the film is an intimate portrait of the street artist, Caledonia Curry; aka Swoon, her collaborators, inspirations, and antics.
It reveals the moment she became internationally recognized, what inspires her creatively, socially, politically, and why none of it matters if she can't get out on the street to wheat paste.
