Social/art events created by Czech artist Kateřina Šedá's burst into the life of her home town and a nearby village as they are gradually reshaped and transformed from within. The film revolves around Šedá's project From Morning Till Night, a one-day event that took place September 3, 2011, as a commission for Tate Modern. Šedá invited eighty residents of all ages from the village of Bedřichovice to recreate their daily routine and the life of their village in London, in an area designated by the artist to closely replicate the perimeter of the village. An additional eighty UK-based professional and amateur artists assisted Šedá in representing the imaginary borders. Each of them positioned at the outskirts of the new locality, painted a specific angle of Bedřichovice while facing the urban landscape of London. The film captures a follow-up and other current projects by Šedá.
