Film synopsis:
Situated off of a busy highway in suburban New Jersey in an
outpatient clinic for mentally ill, there is a room colored bright
yellow. Inside, art therapy classes are led by a young, educated,
intelligent woman named Melissa Johnson.
As she reveals to us the details of a callous healthcare system,
she also reveals her own personal strength in the small deeds she
offers. Melissa uses art to empower and educate the people she
works with, but behind her accomplished appearance there are
difficulties in her own life that reveal the deeper complexities of
both her and her clients’ situation.
