You don't just take a photograph, don't just take it. You form it, you light it, you frame it, you mould it. You, you... Create it.
In a dilapidated cabin by a lake, deep in the English countryside, Tim, a celebrated wildlife photographer, prepares to welcome Marcus, the latest in a string of failed apprentices. Despite his lack of knowledge or experience, Tim quickly sees there's something different about this one - he just needs to figure out if Marcus can be trusted with the professional techniques he's spent decades developing. Together, they endeavour to find and photograph the elusive Firewing - a task that will test the lengths they're willing to go for something that may be just beyond their reach. It's said that a picture tells a thousand words, but for Tim and Marcus every shot becomes a question: of what we see, what we choose to capture, and what we leave out of frame...
