A contemplative historical drama about how a single transformative object—a camera—allows a working-class woman to transcend her constrained circumstances and discover artistic agency amid social upheaval.

In a time of social change and unrest, war and poverty, a young working class woman, Maria, wins a camera in a lottery. The decision to keep it alters her whole life.
