Synopsis
Wainscott, Hamptons, serves as the backdrop for Richard P. Rogers' unfinished life project. After his death in 2001, his widow, photographer Susan Meiselas, enlists former student Alexander Olch to assemble the fragments of his vision. The film intertwines Rogers' personal footage with reflections on his childhood and his complex relationship with his mother. Actor Wallace Shawn adds depth to the narrative, which blurs the lines between documentary and fiction, revealing the challenges of Rogers' pursuit of self-documentation.
