Press photographer Flash is around 40 years old. As long as he can remember, his camera has been the most important element of his life. He carries it with him wherever he goes. Over the years, he has sown his wild oats and acquired an international reputation. He has seen the Beirut inferno, has reported on famine in India and life in a harem, has photographed politicians and prostitutes, insurrections, royal weddings and fashion shows. Coolly, almost callously, he photographs everything and anything - love stories, human tragedies, ecological catastrophies. Impartially and with detachment. Until one day, when he covers a story that he cannot get out of his mind and that demands the utmost of him. Not only professional skill, but also personal commitment. He suddenly realizes that he cannot remain neutral or objective, but that he must tell the whole story and take sides. Henceforth, his photos contain an element that most others lack: soul.
