Dežo Hoffmann got his first break as a war cameraman in Spain. Here he became friends with Ernest Hemingway and Robert Capa. He met a beautiful Spanish woman, who is supposed to have died in mysterious circumstances shortly after their wedding. Is it true that she was shot in a truck when crossing the front? Dežo threw himself into the whirlpool of events in Second World War and when it finished he settled in London where he began to work as photographer.

In 1962 he became the court photographer to the Beatles. He lay down on the grass in a park in Liverpool and let the lads run and jump about. His action shots caused a revolution in the world of show business. Overnight, formal studio photography was out and energy and spontaneity were in. Dežo photographed all the stars of the era – the Rolling Stones, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie and many others.

Then he vanished from the scene. What happened? Why did a man who had the world at his feet suddenly drop out of the limelight? Which of his dramas – in war, private life or work – caused this sudden change in his career?
