A career summation, its author's own 'Mecca.'—Frank Rich, New York Times

After her husband dies, aging Miss Helen begins to fill her home and garden in the remote South African bush with strange sculptures made from cement, glass, wire, and recycled materials. Marius, a local clergyman, believes Helen should cease this habit and move to a senior home. But Elsa, a young teacher from Cape Town, arrives and encourages Helen to keep going. The two visitors spar over whether the peculiar art is an outpouring of creativity or an outbreak of madness.
