A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things Wilhelmina Barns-Graham was a painter, visionary, and singular thinker. In 1949, Barns-Graham, then 36 years old, climbed the Grindelwald Glacier, where she had an aesthetic and spiritual epiphany that rewired her brain and transformed her art. She spent the rest of her life painting it. Diving deep into her art and life, the film explores themes of gender, neurodiversity, climate change, and the nature of creativity from youth to old age.
