Being There
“A story of chance.”
ComedyDrama
A simple-minded gardener named Chance has spent all his life in the Washington D.C. house of an old man. When the man dies, Chance is put out on the street with no knowledge of the world except what he has learned from television.
VIBE
A quietly profound and subtly satirical journey. It feels like a gentle, reflective observation on identity, perception, and the strange ways society interprets simplicity, all wrapped in a poignant, deadpan humor that lingers long after the credits.
