“A serious man in a silly dream”
A man drifts through a carnival, lost somewhere between play and purpose. He buys a toy gun. Pretends to be a hero. For a few fleeting moments, the world bends to his imagination. Shot in a Wong Kar Wai-esque mood of a half-remembered dream. Colored lights, quiet stares, and the heat haze of make-believe.

Walter Mitty, a daydreaming writer with an overprotective mother, likes to imagine that he is a hero who experiences fantastic adventures. His dream becomes reality when he accidentally meets a mysterious woman who hands him a little black book. According to her, it contains the locations of the Dutch crown jewels hidden since World War II. Soon, Mitty finds himself in the middle of a confusing conspiracy, where he has difficulty differentiating between fact and fiction.
