Follows artist Julian Schnabel as he gets personally involved in hanging a 30 year retrospective show in Italy. He introduces us to his crew, a daughter he's painted on several occasions, explains how he met and pursued his wife, visits a museum to marvel at the work of Caravaggio, discusses the laughter of the Spanish, the protocol of signing his own work, the inspiration of his dreams as a young man and those of a daughter, how he began using crockery in his art, what ambition drives the evolution to a new style, and how making films didn't fit with the image of a painter; all while art scholars weigh in on the importance of his oeuvre.
