Dimitri loves photographing friends, strangers, and lovers, but over time images have been slipping from his sight. He knows that one day he will no longer see. Unable to shoot as before, the film follows him as he captures the world through the streets of Paris and New York, and is captured in return through encounters, gazes, and memories, inviting us to discover the hidden face of the Earth.
