"A look inside the studio of artist José González. José sits down to try out a few guitar chords. He gets up, fidgets a little with the equipment. He sits down again, plays, stops, thinks. "Why am I so slow?" he ponders in a voice-over. Using congenial methods: video diary, surveillance camera, concert footage, tour documentation and clever animations by Per-Isak Snälls, filmmakers Mikel Cee Karlsson and Fredrik Egerstrand succeed in capturing something as elusive as the creative process of one of Sweden's finest - and most secretive - musicians. The exquisite parts form a whole that, if you like, can be read as an ardent defence of the beauty of art and of the ones who create it."
