Guerin is in Brazil, where his retrospective is taking place. He then travels to Japan. While Mekas films at home, in an intimate topography, we follow Guerin on his travels, but we also gain entrance to his private world, which is more or less focused on his inner life. In this, his third letter, he pays tribute to the young Slovenian film critic Nika Bohincová, whom he met at a festival in Lisbon and introduces to us in his film. The young woman died tragically shortly thereafter. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
