A profound, visually poetic meditation on consciousness and resilience told through the inner life of a man trapped in his own body, finding meaning and beauty in the act of remembering and creating.

Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French fashion bible Elle magazine, has a devastating stroke at age 43. The damage to his brain stem results in locked-in syndrome, with which he is almost completely paralyzed and only able to communicate by blinking an eye. Bauby painstakingly dictates his memoir via the only means of expression left to him.
