Synopsis
We all live out certain roles which influence our behaviour. Some roles we create by ourselves while others are assigned to us. Are we able to step out of them just by deciding so? How do these roles influence us? How do documentarists work with their subjects to gain what they want? Without any experience in directing, the driver of the documentary film festival tried to answer these questions and switched roles with his passengers, film directors. He made them feel what it is like to be subject of documentary film.
