Amateurs’ Paradise is a journey into why we document our lives. Following four men from different generations, the film weaves together personal archives and contemporary reflections to explore the uneasy balance between memory and performance. From intimate home videos to carefully crafted digital personas, it reveals how the act of recording shapes who we are, how we connect, and how we make sense of ourselves—blurring the line between the private and the public.
