Synopsis

Movies. In the post-millennium they play a crucial role in growing up. They teach us about life, death, sex and everything in between. We learn who we are by the characters (and actors) we identify with on screen – Willy Wonka, Ghostbuster, Raging Bull. We connect with certain films, actors and characters so strongly it’s like a spiritual experience. A communion – in the dark. This is the story about one man and how the movies he watched made him who he is – for better and worse.
