A documentary about cinematographer Gabriel Veyre's adventures introducing cinema to Japan and South America. Veyre was a traveling cameraman for the Lumiere Co. He declared cinema dead only 2 years after it's inception after he saw a villager jerk a woman's head to face the camera when he was filming a small group of them.
