When Ray Eccles is struck on the head on a hot summer beach by a seagull, he awakens compelled to obsessively paint the unknown woman he saw at the moment of impact. As the paintings light the art world on fire, the woman begins to wonder if this stranger in his moment of hushed crisis is the only person who has ever really seen her. Beautiful, elegant and quietly profound, Harriet Paige's Man with a Seagull on His Head captures the small, shared moments that connect disparate lives and creates artistry out of the everyday.
