A portrait of “Flamingo”, an elderly Flemish emigré who has constructed an elaborate wonder-world of painted and recontextualized junk-objects on the grounds of his apartment building in Toronto. In taking a contemplative “tour”, the film emphasizes the continual process of metamorphosis and revision that animates the garden under the care of its energetic founder.
