Following the death of his wife, Derek turns to the street art of being a living human statue as he attempts to deal with his grief on his own terms.
A comic tragedy and a dark journey of the heart as one man faces ridicule and confusion for not conforming to the ‘normal grieving process’.

"I loved the man Derek. I really liked the still shots of him. I understood his desire to be still. The film was funny but made me very sad." - Andrea Arnold (Fishtank, Wuthering Heights)
