Thomas Hoepker is one of the most important living photographers worldwide. His pictures became icons of photojournalism. He was the first German to be accepted as a full member of the legendary photo agency Magnum and later headed it as chairman.  In 2017, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The man whose art has become part of the collective memory is now slowly losing his own memories. His last one big dream: A road trip through the USA with his wife

Nahuel Lopez's uplifting documentary follows this touching journey interspersing it with some of the amazing photographs Hoepker has taken over the past 70 years.

Filmography: Daniel Hope: Der Klang des Lebens (2017), El Viaje (2016).
