Tadeusz Rolke is an aged Polish master who has devoted his life to photography, especially photo reportage. Michal is his 15-year-old apprentice. They have more than just a typical teacher-student relationship, travelling across Poland to take portrait photographs of the residents of small towns and villages, while the dark room placed in their camper enables them to develop pictures on the spot and give them to the models whom they meet by chance. For the boy, this is an excellent opportunity to find out about the arcana of traditional photography. For both of them, it’s an opportunity to experience a beautiful friendship.
