Synopsis

This film is about the work and life of Carl Homstad in rural Northeast Iowa, just outside of Decorah. Based on an exhibit at Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum, we see the works and the places that inspired them, as Carl shows us what he’s done, where and how it’s done, and why he’s done it. And at Thanksgiving dinner, we meet the people and see the places that are his inspiration. Maybe they can inspire you, too.
