About the film: In 1920s Los Angeles, a stuntman lies paralyzed in a hospital bed after an accident on a film set.  A little girl with her arm in a cast wanders into his room, and – seeing that he has nowhere to go and nothing else to do – she asks him to tell her a story.  The bulk of the film is devoted to the fantastic and elaborate fiction he makes up for her.  As the girl becomes obsessed with the story, her perception of fantasy and reality begins to blur, and the man’s purpose in telling it comes into focus.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
