Most of his working life after that was spent in Germany and Switzerland but Iceland remained a refuge, an inspiration, the home to his family and a second home to Dieter, whose legacy left a distinctive mark on the Icelandic and international art scenes. The director knew Dieter from early childhood and now embarks upon a journey to different parts of the world to gather pieces in his Dieter Roth Puzzle. What emerges is a colourful portrait of an exceptional person; one of the most singular and important artists of our time, as described by his family, many friends and colleagues.
