Often referred to as Canada’s Michelangelo, this is an up close and personal examination of Guido Nincheri and his paintings, sculptures, and stained-glass creations, which can be found in over 200 churches across North America. Nincheri’s studio and collection of works were left to his grandson, Roger, who retired in 2007 and was asked to take stock of his grandfather’s works. Roger was able to capture over 175 churches, but an unfortunate eye injury interrupted his journey. His hope was to visit one last church in Quebec: St. Anne Varnes, which he believed would be crucial to understand his grandfather’s work. The documentary follows Roger, now in his mid 80’s, as he gets the chance to travel to St. Anne Varnes and complete the story of Guido Nincheri.
