A feature documentary about an infamous art-event that took place in Toronto, Canada in 2007.

 

Then art student, Þórarinn Ingi Jónsson, made an wooden sculpture of a pipe-bomb and left it in The Royal Ontario Museum accompanied with a note stating that this was not a bomb.

 

Þórarinn was arrested, thrown out of school an eventually thrown out of the country for an alleged bomb hoax, which has been said to have cost the taxpayers of Canada and the Canadian Aids Fund millions of dollars.

 

The documentary explores the overflow of anger Þórarinn experienced as a reaction to the piece, the reasons why people responded so badly and the reasons Þórarinn made the bomb in the first place.
