Synopsis

A naïve filmmaker sets out on a cheap motorcycle, armed with three cameras and a purple draped stage. His mission is to capture the truth of his homeland, inspired by Dziga Vertov's 1929 classic, "Man with a Movie Camera." As he travels, he encounters a harsh reality reflected in the words of the people he meets. The violent and racist sentiments he documents darken his spirit, forcing him to confront his deepest fears through interactions with characters that mirror his troubled psyche.
