Summary:
In this introspective film, we witness the revival of fresco painting through the commitment and mastery of a young artist named Mark Balma and the artwork he and his team of assistants created for the University of St. Thomas. Includes the history of fresco painting, how the images were selected and transferred to the ceiling, how materials were selected, the design process, and what the images depicting seven virtues mean to community members who view them.
