Shows six artists at work, one of them being Jimmy Boyle, the prisoner who spends his time in prison sculpting. Three themes interweave through the film - Chance; the role of accident in painting and change in performance - History; connections with surrealism and politics - Art; the present day, the way art merges with everyday life and is mediated by institutions
