Jorge Luis Borges spent much of his career as a library clerk in Buenos Aires while quietly building a body of stories and essays that reshaped twentieth-century fiction. This film traces his life from a childhood spent devouring his father's library through his blindness, his labyrinth and mirror obsessions, and his eventual recognition as one of Argentina's most celebrated writers, credited alongside Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa as a founder of Latin American letters. Archival photographs, readings from his work, and commentary from critics and biographers piece together how a man who never wrote a novel became one of fiction's most influential figures, winning 46 national and international literary prizes along the way. The film also sits with the contradictions in his story: a writer obsessed with infinite libraries and doubled selves who lost his sight just as he reached his creative peak, dictating some of his best-known stories rather than writing them by hand.
