The film explores representation, asking how cinema can describe oneself and others, using the camera as a mirror and third eye. It begins as a collage of letter‑writing, investigation and journey, hovering between documentary and narrative. It culminates in a portrait of Boris Lehman covering 1989‑1995, serving as Part II of BABEL.
