When the basement storage of the Tatham Art Gallery floods, employees and volunteer rescuers race against time to save artworks from irreparable damage, some which date back to the 19th century.

A short documentary about an under-resourced public art gallery in South Africa, which
flooded during a municipal strike and was saved by the extraordinary intervention of
workers, technicians, and friends in the community. What makes this story especially touching is that while there are so many competing needs in post-Apartheid South Africa, the potentual damage to valuable artworks meant something to everyone.
