Sinopsis

In 1926 Man Ray filmed the cinepoem Emak Bakia (Basque for ‘Leave me alone’) in a house of the same name near Biarritz. Nearly a century later, filmmaker Oskar Alegria set off in search of the house with only three clues to guide him: photos of the main door, two window columns and a stretch of the nearby coast.
