When a slew of innocent citizens are senselessly slaughtered, the baffled police must solve a 350 year old mystery of unsated passion.

"Each of my films is the exploration of a territory that I urgently want to understand", Allan King states in this elegantly structured and inspirational biography of one of Canada's most significant filmmakers. King's work has been central to the development of documentary film and direct cinema around the world, and he continues to make powerful films that confront and move us with the painful and beautiful understanding of what it is to be human. A beautifully constructed homage to the work and life of this accomplished filmmaker - Official Selection, 2006 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.
