While researching a rare disease that he himself is plagued by, director Ken August Meyer stumbles upon a discovery that leads him to the work of artist Paul Klee in Switzerland. Shortly after Klee fled Germany to Switzerland to escape the Nazis, he was afflicted with the same autoimmune disease. Scleroderma leads to physical deformities that are reflected in Paul Klee's art. Ken August Meyer meticulously examines the late work of the expressive artist and finds comfort in the way he dealt with his own illness. A colorful voyage of discovery into uncharted realms.
