...engaging and discerning culture, as a way of life...

Storytelling - 3

The synopsis sounded interesting, but the writing and directing only turned them into the ultimate cliche. There are really two stories and although they could have been connected, the writer decided to leave them separate, with the mere title headings, "fiction" and "non-fiction." You almost start to feel bad for the characters and then you realize that its there own lack of wisdom and integrity that conformed them to victims of the culture. It would be an interesting critique of culture if there weren't already hundreds of better films out there. Don't let the cover deceive you, avoid this film.
