Solnicki's camera is performing the same task as the photographers of the older 8mm footage he has seamlessly integrated from his family archive, marking Papirosen as an eloquent testimony on family and history; Solnicki places himself as the intellectual inheritor of a line of chroniclers, writing the latest chapter in a very old story.
