Miroslav Tichy lived like a hermit for decades in a small town in Moravia in the Czech Republic. Since recently, the art scene has been celebrating the estranged photographer Tichy as a non-conformist, trading his works for up to 12.000 euro. Tichy still lives on cheap booze in his run-down shed, he isn't interested in fame: "They should have come earlier, now it's too late, I don't want this". An intimate story of an artist - and a subtle revelation of the business mechanisms of the art world.
