A painter, diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, managed to communicate his thoughts and feelings from within the illness itself. An American artist who lived in London from 1957 until his death in 2007, William Utermohlen painted the gradual deterioration of his brain. With poetry and tenderness, Frédéric Compain films the painter and his work, closely following the creative process.
