In 1970, photojournalist Gilles Caron disappeared in Cambodia at the age of 30, leaving behind a striking body of work that left its mark on contemporary history (May 1968, Vietnam, Biafra).
Through a meticulous exploration of his 100,000 photographs and contact sheets, filmmaker Mariana Otero conducts an intimate, visual investigation. By reconstructing his creative process—amidst the chaos—step by step, she traces the photographer’s own mental and physical journey. More than just a biography, the film is a deeply moving tribute that brings the sensibility and unique perspective of a man who vanished back to life.
