In the quaint, picturesque world of Vermont public television, Owen Wilson stars as Carl Nargle, a beloved and blissfully content local painting host whose gentle style and soothing persona have made him a station icon for decades. His peaceful existence, however, is thrown into vibrant disarray when the network hires a talented and ambitious younger painter, Ciara Renee's Ambrosia, to boost their sagging ratings. As Ambrosia's fresh energy and modern approach captivate the audience Carl thought was his forever, he is forced to confront his own artistic stagnation and the cozy, unchallenged life he has built with his loyal producer, Wendi McLendon-Covey's Katherine. Directed by Brit McAdams, this gentle and witty comedy explores the brushes with ego, relevance, and romance that ensue when a local legend must rediscover the color in his own canvas, learning that true artistry might require stepping outside the comfortable frame.
