The documentary follows how Finnish light artist Kari Kola is building the biggest ever made light installation in Connemara, Ireland. The city of Galway has commissioned a work from Kari as part of the European Capital of Culture 2020 program. The installation is supposed to be ”something big” and Kari decides to light up a whole mountain. The art piece is named Savage Beauty, an expression by Oscar Wilde portraying the Connemara region.

Because of his extarordinary personality, other people have hard time trying to follow his ideas and take him seriously. But Kari lives in his own world where nothing is impossible.
