A fascinating and intimate portrait of an unlikely artist, Mokarrameh, a widow in rural Iran who dips into her memories as well as colorful local legends to create vivid, detailed paintings.

Now, years later, Mokarrameh's home literally overflows with her paintings; figures crowd every wall, eyes wink at the front gate. (48 mins) With And There Was Creation . . .
