ABOUT THE FILM

Peter Greenaway constructs an alphabet for and with his daughter Pip as a blueprint of his life. The fascinations of filmmaker Peter Greenaway, whose motto is “art is life and life is art,” are captured like butterflies and arranged in an alphabet, a form suiting him perfectly as an encyclopedist. In intimate conversations with his perceptive 16-year-old daughter Pip, we discover the ‘whos, whats and whys’ about Greenaway. Pip’s spontaneous questions penetrate Greenaway to the core, enabling his wife, multimedia artist Saskia Boddeke, to make a deeply personal portrait not only of the artist, but also of Greenaway the father in his battle against time.
