SYNOPSIS: While promoting his film on the global festival circuit, a director arms himself with a small
camera on a quest to find a motif or character for his next work. In the style of a travel diary,
GUEST shows us the footage taken by the filmmaker. A seemingly random tapestry of vignettes reveals an underlying story, with all the necessary elements for the next project: the organic birth of a new wave of cinema.
