When this film was made in the '90s, Mr. Pink was 73 years old, a retired refuse collector who came to Britain from Jamaica in the fifties. The film presents his ramshackle, but extraordinary house in a South East London suburb. Inspired by a mixture of dreams, memories of his childhood and his religion, he adorned his Victorian mansion with his own unique designs. Inside and out, the house is decorated with the intense colours of the Caribbean, combined with other influences such as the stained glass windows in churches.

Mr. Pink's urge for self-expression includes recording his own music and songs and making spectacular hats of leaves and flowers which he wears with cheerful aplomb. An observer of life and a deeply spiritual man, he shares his wisdom with us.

The film is posted in memory of Mr Pink who sadly died last year.
