As digital technology and AI threaten to erase the very act of taking a photograph, this film goes back to what truly makes an image: emotion, perspective, humanity. For 200 years, photography hasn’t just recorded the world — it has shaped the way we see it.

Through the voices of today’s photographers and the legacy of the great masters, the film delves into the heart of a medium in constant metamorphosis. The artists reveal their craft, their relationship to reality, and that unique ability to “bring the invisible to light.”

Guided by their images, the documentary raises a fundamental question: in a world where anything can be fabricated… what does a real photograph mean today?
