Everything, Nothing and Something Else

Three individuals seek help from a psychiatrist: a young director struggling to get his film made, a lonely woman unhappy with her life, and an older woman unable to sleep without art books. The psychiatrist’s advice leads them to success and happiness. However, the psychiatrist questions his own happiness and dreams. Years later, he reveals to the now-famous director Garin that he always wanted to be an actor. Garin offers to help his former doctor pursue his dream.

The film consists of three parts: "Acquaintance," "Atelier," and "Time." It tells the story of the inventors of photography—Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, Hermann Wilhelm Fogel, and Franz de Mazer. The narrative of their pioneering work in the creation of the art of photography unfolds through the revelation of the era in which they lived and worked.
