Since its construction, numerous artists have been commissioned to create stained glass windows for the Metz Cathedral, whose luminous expanse of colored glass inspired the nickname "God's Lantern". To celebrate the cathedral's 800th anniversary, the Korean artist Kimsooja proposed a new work in a dialogue between contemporary art and cultural heritage and between Eastern and Western thought. This film tells the story of this incredible historical, human, spiritual and artistic adventure. As a bonus, the film Yorkshire Sculpture Park presents Kimsooja's sculpture "A Needle Woman: Galaxy was a Memory, Earth is a Souvenir" in the gardens and her installation "To Breathe" in the chapel of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in England.
