The year is 1838. Louis Daguerre has just invented photography, and he is wondering: should he share it with the world, or keep it a secret? But the day a student from Greece helps to improve his invention, he decides it must be known to the greater public. Thanks to the young man's ingeniosity, photography will travel around the globe, marking the start of a new era of visual memories. "Portraits" goes beyond the origins of photography to explore the pain of migration and the often powerful attachment to one's homeland.
