Raghu Rai: An Unframed Portrait plot

In this documentary, father and daughter travel to the state of Kashmir, where political unrest and violence are the order of the day. They photograph the environment and each other, while reflecting on their lives, politics and the profession, whereby the filmmaker draws richly from Raghu Rai's photo archive. He started photographing in the 1960s, published more than fifty books and became best known for his poignant series about the consequences of the poisonous disaster in Bhopal in 1984, about Mother Teresa and Indira Gandhi. Avani films and photographs her father while he works, lecturing her on points of view and frameworks. In this way, the film not only becomes a portrait of a passionate photographer, but also of a father-daughter relationship.
