Description

It begins on a quiet city street. A woman is robbed, the crime witnessed by a man holding a camera. In the aftermath, victim and voyeur meet.

It ends six months later, by which point both their lives - and the way they choose to live them - have changed irrevocably.

This is the story of what happened in-between.
