Set against the backdrop of Italy in the years of the fascist dictatorship, a man of means, yet unknown to history, scrutinizes the world through his small cine camera. Guiding him and teaching him is a manual; the buds of ideology are detectable beneath the seemingly impartial tone it uses to describe technique. But in his films, the ineffable signs of resistance still rise to the surface.
