Synopsis

Given a portrait, who is responsible for the image we see, the painter or the subject? Ion was a rockstar of Ballet in Communist Romania. When we discuss the possibility of a shooting, Ion is initially overjoyed. He’s been dreaming that someday there’d be a film about him. But as things progress, he finds it hard to accept my approach. He questions my ability to make the film happen.
