Documentary film “Black” presents the work of a charismatic personality of the Lithuanian art scene, the only Lithuanian architect-visionary V. Ozarinskas (Ozė) to a wider audience. This objective will be achieved by integrating the genres of artistic biography, science documentary, and science fiction, making use of nonchronological plot, paying special attention to visual solutions; sparse usage of verbality, and experimenting with sound.
