A painterly, introspective portrait of an aging artist's final decades, balancing eccentricity and isolation with fleeting human connection and the pursuit of artistic transcendence.

Eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner lives his last 25 years with gusto and secretly becomes involved with a seaside landlady, while his faithful housekeeper bears an unrequited love for him.
