“I want this picture to be a document, I wanna hold a mirror up to life,” Sullivan says. ”I want this to be a picture of dignity, a true canvas of the suffering of humanity.”
Adds a producer: “but with a little sex in it.”
Sullivan has evolved into an elitist who doesn’t see the value in lowbrow entertainment and dismisses escapism as worthless. He ventures off on a mission to inform his upcoming Serious film by living life like a pleb, shedding all the accoutrements of fortune and wealth he has enjoyed.
When a boxcar hobo beats him and leaves him for dead, Sullivan’s plan goes radically awry. After a violent incident he is sentenced to six years in a labour camp and cannot prove his identity. All the people who know him believe him to be dead.
