Black Box

An elderly photographer studies a series of photographs, attempting to reconnect the broken thread of memory with the people they depict — who they were, how they lived, and where they are now. Although the film has a central character, it is not the story of his life, nor of his memories. Instead, it is a quiet requiem for a bygone era and for those who embodied it — a reflection on the futility of trying to preserve people in memory as they truly were.
