Synopsis
Spoiler shield
A young boy becomes mesmerized by his first experiences watching TV. Gradually, his thoughts are consumed by what he sees on the screen. He begins to believe himself a movie star and mimics violent acts from films—ultimately wandering outside in a coat and gun.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
