A fishing village on the west coast of Scotland celebrates the work of an extraordinary man.

Angus MacDonald (1883-1963) was a fisherman from the Kintyre village of Carradale on the west coast of Scotland. He was also a prolific and talented artist, painting a wide range of subjects on tea chest lids, packing cases and any other surface he could find. The film documents how over seventy of his paintings were brought together for a pop-up exhibition in 2025.

It features interviews with the owners of some of the paintings and a critique of Angus's work by a local artist. We also hear the voice of the man himself.
