Raccontare Vivian Maier significa raccontare una vita invisibile, cancellata. La vita di una bambinaia. Ma quella bambinaia era una fotografa di genio destinata a diventare una leggenda. Raccontare Vivian Maier vuol dire immaginare un'americana di origini francesi che ispeziona infaticabile le vie, gli angoli delle città in cui vive, rubandone fotogrammi con una Rolleiflex da cui non si separa mai. Significa cercare di ricostruire i frammenti di una biografia in cui lei, Vivian, sfugge, sfuma sempre in un fuori fuoco, una dissolvenza impossibile da afferrare, in cui si perde anche il suo nome.
