Spanish artist, Antonio López, tries to make a perfect painting of the quince tree in his garden, struggling to capture a perfect, fleeting moment of beauty on canvas, and the film meticulously chronicles his work. One of the best films about painting by a great film-maker.

“A truly magnificent film … visually extraordinary, funny, touching and quite unlike anything else.”  (Geoff Andrew – Time Out)
