Synopsis

Following the footsteps of Heraclitus, the legendary Magnum photographer Josef Koudelka revisits more than 200 Hellenistic and Roman ancient cities he shot repeatedly over past 26 years. During this epic journey to Mediterranean regions, we witnesses the moments of joy, tenderness, and silence while focusing on Koudelka’s both artistic and philosophical search for the “maximum”.
