John Carson as Man in "Portrait of Man"
Into a photographer's studio comes a man in search of a portrait - a portrait of himself. 'I want to know what I really am,' he says. 'Can't you show me what I'm really like?'
With the aid of an anthropologist, a doctor, a surgeon, a cytologist, a chemist, a physicist, a radiotherapist, and a showman with a knowledge of psychology, an analysis is made - but is it enough? Isn't there still something missing?
