A son recalls how his father's paintings, made as a non-conformist artist in Soviet Russia, shaped his childhood.

Nik Kleverov tells a family story built around his father, a non-conformist painter working in Soviet Russia. Told in the first person from a point-of-view perspective, the film moves through his memories of how those canvases colored the way he saw the world as a child. Kleverov wrote it shortly after his father died and only made it more than ten years later, generating the visuals with OpenAI's Sora and feeding in his father's actual paintings.
