Emile Norman’s lifelong passion for art was inspired by the forms and flow of nature. Working with wood, bronze and marble as well as modern materials like epoxy resin and plastic, Norman created imaginative objects of enduring beauty and originality. This intimate film explores his life and art, his experiences as an artist in New York and his deeper connection to Big Sur. The film is also a love story between two men who were devoted both to one another and to Norman's art.

In 1958, Norman completed his largest work, a massive window created for the California Masonic Memorial Temple in San Francisco featuring classic Masonic iconography. Made of tiny pieces of crushed glass and other materials, the window was beautifully restored in 2008. Norman also carved a marble sculpture celebrating America’s military heroes for the outside of the Temple.
