A documentary about the work and personality of artist David Hockney.

Amanda's deathbed request to her son, John, was for him to destroy all the lab notes etc. from her last experiment. She also blurts out he had a brother. At the funeral John meets Melissa, who claims to be his mother's biggest fan. Together with some of John's friends they go to Amanda's house, but none are prepared for what they find there.

After a difficult break-up, Hockney is left unable to paint, much to the concern of his friends.
