The story of Filip Mosz, a man happy in his work with a loving wife and a new baby. Things are looking good for Filip and he decides to buy a video camera to record his daughter’s development.

He wins high praise for his film but soon runs into increasingly strict censorship problems and his addiction to making films starts to threaten his marriage.
