A portrait of photographer Harry Gruyaert, born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1941. Raised in a rigid Catholic tradition, with a strict father who saw art as a sin, Gruyaert left his country at a young age to travel and become an artist. He viewed the world through the lens of a camera, and his travels inspired him to bring colour and light into his work. Through family archives and numerous photos of the artist, the film paints a portrait of a man driven by curiosity and an insatiable desire to capture the essence of his world in a unique way.
