 Robert Capa has been the icon of a whole generation of photo journalists and embodies the very spirit of adventure: a romantic hero, a legendary photographer with a tragic end. Yet, very little exists on the real man on film. The film takes its departure with the photo that "made" Robert Capa: the Spanish Republican mortally wounded in front of his camera. The question of the photo s authenticity is the  knot  of our story. This shot came to be regarded as Capa s guiding principle of his job: the closer you get to the action, the better the photo and its impact! Despite many contradictions, Capa s legend lives on.
