Film-portrait of the artist Latif Kazbekov. Meetings in the workshop, where the boundaries between the external world, accessible to the viewer, and the internal are blurred, where the painting as the result is just a pretext for the process. Paper reliefs, thoughtful painting, authentic paper casting and endless questions. An attempt to look at the nature of creativity and understand – how are the paper worlds born?
