What do Matt Damon, Madonna, Denzel Washington and Michael Jackson have in common? A self-reflexive ethnographic film follows the weekly rehearsals of the Breakthrough drama group for individuals with different types of learning disabilities. Why do people want to become famous? By pretending to be someone else we can discover more ourselves and, by looking back at the whole process of becoming another, we end up being a creative character in our own documentary.
