People I Could Have Been and Maybe Am plot

"What would it be like to enter into the life of a complete stranger?"

This film, which started as a documentary, was shot in its entirety using the cameras on mobile phones and started with the stories of two people: Sandrine is a beautiful woman looking for a husband and Steve is a seasoned beggar struggling with his drug addiction. However, the line between reality and fiction blurs here, and this puts the relationship between the filmmaker and the filmed to the test; the closer the director gets to his 'subject', the more the camera gets in the way. Yet the personal and human aspect could only arise by the grace of that same medium.
