In 1979, Varda returns to Los Angeles from France and produces a documentary about the murals that surround the Californian city. These colorful and content-rich murals bring vibrancy to the city, and provide a space for expression to the different groups of people that inhabit the city. Varda acts as both a tour guide and a historian as she tries to capture the indescribable spirit of these artistic expressions that are an inseparable part of the experience of the City of Angels at the end of the 1960s. Incorporating interviews with muralists, Varda takes the viewers on a journey that follows the mysterious stories on the city’s colorful walls, using her limitless curiosity and her unique sensibility.
