Nader Vakili, an Iranian-American plant geneticist, spends his adult life traveling the world with his wife, Mary Jane, their six children and six tons of tropical hardwood. Now at 91, and with his wife suffering from Alzheimer's, he faces his own mortality and the towering wood pile. The persistence of his creative expression, seen from the perspective of his children and Nader himself, is manifested in the elaborate wood sculptures that surround him in his rural Florida workshop. Picking up a hammer and chisel, he starts to carve again.
