A painting by Gwen John. Several women needing space and time to reflect on their lives are strangely affected by this small, quiet picture depicting the corner of a room. The story, spanning a century up to the present day, cleverly connects these women who each encounter the painting in various locations, and experience a deeper understanding of themselves and the significance of a special space. Melancholic yet uplifting.
