Synopsis

Legendary Lithuanian photographer Romualdas Požerskis can’t stop taking pictures – even at his own exhibition. Now in his 70s, he’s been through it all: the fall of the communist regime and the loss of the love of his life. A man so used to looking at everyone else finally takes a look at himself.
