Some might have already seen this master of the stage in rehearsals or inter- views – but never as a building contractor in the middle of a construction site. As Wilson is caught in a situation of emergency and discomfort, struggling against the elements (the rain, a delivery of gravel, etc.) and carefully watching over the never-ending construction of a his foundation, a subtle and generous portrait of the artist comes to life.
