Alfred Levitt was perhaps the ultimate raconteur. He was a gifted storyteller, renowned artist, humanist, anarchist, sportsmen and spelunker. The documentary is a 'Rashomon' style look at his life and career from several points of view. Time and reflection, however, cast their own baleful eye on these efforts, intruding with a simple question: Is this man really as great as he appears to be? Alfred is about ego, self-reflection, self-importance; and, ultimately, how one is perceived by others, and by history.
