Six street artists, Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126, and Derm, spend three days painting inside an abandoned 1970s village on Scotland's west coast. The film follows them as they work both the large shared walls and the smaller rooms and corners scattered through the empty houses, with each artist choosing his own space and approach. The project's stated aim is to repopulate the ghost village with painted figures and scenes, using the site's own history as material rather than painting over it. Collaborative pieces bring all six styles onto single walls, while individual works in the hidden rooms read as more private statements, closer to sketchbook than mural. There is no narration guiding the viewer through motive or technique beyond what the artists say and do on camera; the location itself, stripped and remote, does most of the framing. The result is a record of a specific, unrepeatable event: art made to exist only as long as the building does.
