- An image of a naked skinny man appears on the
  screen, he’s been hospitalized for six years in a
  precarious hospital in China. Another image show
  us a woman tied up to a bed that has grown fist-sized
  bedsores because no one turned her over and
  washed her. Lu Nan lives in Beijing, he’s a photographer,
  and was invited to the Magnum Photos
  Agency. Today he is one of the most important
  Asian photographer worldwide. He’s a bridge between
  the west and the east. He devoted the last
  thirty years of his life to the humble, silent and lonely
  artistic work, building over fifteen years, its
  triology which is an astoniching ensemble of living
  human portraits, a moving chant to Life and
  the Human Condition. Taking advantage of Dante
  Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy” structure and Lu
  Nan’s Trilogy, this never made documentary will
  be revealing the magnific work and perspective of
  Lu Nan, his Portrait of Artist and Humanist.
