A portrait of Maori artist Darcy Nicholas. Darcy’s story is inseparably woven with his mountain, Mount Taranaki; his family; his ancestors; his art and into the lives of other indigenous artists and friends.
We travel with Darcy to Taranaki and to North West Coast America. We follow the opening of The Eternal Thread weaving exhibition in San Francisco and its closing at Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon. We meet with Darcy's family and friends along the way.

Darcy says the documentary is about a Taranaki family. It is also about being Màori, the power of art, keeping a strong thread to the ancestors and living in the world today.
