A MEDITATION ON THE FIRST BEATITUDE AND INSPIRED IN VARYING DEGREES BY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, JUNGIAN ARCHETYPES, AND CINEMATIC MYSTICISM, THE FILM'S TRAJECTORY FOLLOWS SIMON, A MIDDLE-AGED SICKLY SCULPTOR, WHO BEGINS A COMMISSION TO CREATE A MASSIVE SCULPTURE (TO BE CAST IN BRONZE) WITHOUT THE COMMISSION HAVING YET BEEN FUNDED.
