Indian screenwriter, cinematographer and documentary director Dheeraj Akolkar's documentary which he wrote, is made in relation to the hundred and fifty year anniversary of a renowned Norwegian 19th and 20th century painter. It premiered in Norway, was shot on locations in USA, Norway, France, England and India and is a Norway-Sweden co-production which was produced by producer Rune H. Trondsen. It tells the story about a Norwegian man, born on the 12th of December in 1863 in the village of Ådalsbruk in the municipality of Løten, in the county of Hedmark in Eastern Norway.Finely and subtly directed by Indian filmmaker Dheeraj Akolkar, this quietly paced documentary which is narrated by the filmmaker, Norwegian actor Kåre Conradi and from multiple viewpoints, draws a silently revering portrayal of a son, brother and friend. While notable for its atmospheric milieu depictions and reverent cinematography by cinematographer Haakon Wettre, this monologue-driven story which was made hundred and fifty-three years after the birth of a Norwegian citizen named Andrea Fredrikke Emilie Milly Ihlen Thaulow (1860-1937), reminiscences and acknowledges a life through interviews with a composer, an actress, biographers, artists, museum directors and curators and contains a great and timely score by composer Stefan Nilsson. This biographically abridged and somewhat historic remembrance and poetic portrait which is set in the United States, Norway, France, England and India in the 21st century and where flashbacks of the works and thoughts of a person are interrelated and his personality and central themes considered, is impelled and reinforced by its fragmented narrative structure, rhythmic continuity, film editing, words, illustrations, photographs and paintings and comment by a curator at the Munch Museum regarding works of art: "…Look at me and find out. What can I tell you?" A conversationally and observationally reflective documentary.

What is art? And who is an artist ? are two important questions that the film addresses beautifully, being simple at the same time complex.The film's treatment has a personal touch and the subject is investigated with loving care and concern, slowly unfolding the work and life of Edward Munch.The human story of the artist and its interplay with his work is integral to the film and helps us discover the human being Edward Munch and his great art showcased with the tools of a filmmaker making the experience a dance of give and take between the artist Edward Munch and the audience and at another level between the filmmaker and the audience. The film is soulful and at the same time relevant and contemporary, asking important questions and leaving us to pause and reflect on the past, present and future of art itself.
