Musician Rosemary Brown describes her collaboration with Beethoven, while the film travels to various places: CGI reconstructing Tambora's eruption based on Sir Stamford Raffles's official account; a Yunnan-based American missionary's poem accompanied by archival footage of war and famine; an explosion near Lake Geneva; footage of an aquarium shot by the artist inside the Gladys Porter Zoo located at the U.S.-Mexico border; and finally a hypnotic session of Brown channeling Beethoven's life and music in the volcanic darkness.
