每位新聞攝影記者夢寐以求的，便是掌握「決定性瞬間」，達致人機合一的境界。而老鬼和他的至愛徠卡，合作無間，拍下無數的經典新聞照片。但身經百戰的老鬼，卻因為一張照片而消聲匿跡，他不再為擁有這份超然的本能而驕傲，也再沒有勇氣按下快門。十八年的掙扎，只等待一個救贖的機會。

根據著名新聞攝影大師林繼昌的真實經歷改編，本片採訪了當年的戰友、拍檔，重塑他傳奇一生，從中帶出攝影師與被攝者的哲學性辯思。最終到底是人選擇被機器操縱？還是相機自有拍攝的慾望？

A photojournalist’s quest for precision can go so far that it is hard to tell whether the human has become a machine or the machine has acquired a desire of its own. Cheung and his beloved Leica managed to captured a moment between life and death; the gaze from the subject haunts Cheung so much that he loses the strength to take another photo.

Based on the true story of the famous photo journalist Mr. Lam Kai-cheung, The Decisive Moment reconstructs his life aided by interviews of his colleagues. The intriguing relationship between the object and the subject is brought forth for philosophical reflection.
