A Life in Frames

Leonora Ross

A photojournalist consumed by his passion for telling stories through his camera lens, a father and son at a war of wills, and lovers struggling to find a way to each other through the distance between them.

Lejf Busher grows up in a family of boys in the small town of Otjiwarongo, Namibia. He’s intense and complex, with his head in the clouds. As he navigates his way through self-discovery, two women are central to life: his mother and the woman he falls in love with. Lejf’s increasing sense of destiny clashes with his father’s hopes and is aggravated by his own idealistic expectations.
Contrary to his acclaim as a photojournalist, his personal life is far from successful. He expresses his feelings through pictures but must learn about balance and compromise.
A Life in Frames is about the push and pull between the ties that bind us and the desires that motivate us. It is also about coming to grips with the consequences of unspoken and misinterpreted words.
