Ian Hellström created various jewelry sculptures, a kind of collage with glass beads, brooches, simple jewelry and various toys, which were sometimes pasted into boxes with small compartments. His colorful art and cross-border life is captivating but not always easy to understand. "It's for me a must to make pictures, an internal compulsion, so no one can decide for yourself," says Ian. In the film we also get an insight into the artist's childhood and upbringing in Stockholm, where the father worked at the Royal castle as a courtroom. Ian's relationship with the family, school and the rest of society was complicated and he slowly began to build up his own world, where he could survive better.
