This documentary catches up with Bruce Bickford, known for his far-out animated collaborations with rock musician Frank Zappa during the '70s. He later became a recluse. Today he no longer makes films for any particular audience, yet remains creative. The film shows Bickford toiling away alone, fashioning clay universes of all shapes and sizes, replete with magical forests and mythical creatures. He also takes care of his father, George, a retired engineer who shares some of his obsessions.
