Sinopsis

Slaven Perović is an art historian, curator, archaeologist, and collector of drawings he finds at online auctions. The film follows his search for works by various authors, the process of their collection and archiving, and the relationship he develops with the drawings from his collection. Through fragments of paper bearing traces of unknown hands, a portrait emerges of a man whose life and identity are inextricably linked to art and collecting.

Parallel to the exploration of his collection, the film offers an intimate look into Slaven’s private life, his experience as a gay man, and how his relationship with art, memory, and the past intertwines with his own identity.
