On a trip to France for a major retrospective of her career, the American dance pioneer Anna Halprin visits the Holocaust Museum in Paris. She is devastated. In the hope of lifting her spirits, she visits the Musee Rodin, and is so deeply moved by the master's sculptures, that she decides to create a performance piece based on Rodin's sculptures that expresses her vision of the artistic process and the world's need for artistic beauty. This one hour movie is a portrait of this stunning performance piece, both the making of, with interviews with Anna Halprin in Paris and her workshops on the Northern Californian coast, and the final spectacular piece performed by nude dancers in the Californian redwood forest.
