2015 Documentary

The six Angulo brothers grew up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, locked in apartment, never going out into the world more than once a year. They didn’t go to school or have friends and lived on welfare, but they did have movies, and it was through the films they watched that they learned about the outside world. Growing up, they’d re-enact their favourite movies with homemade costumes, using their imaginations to escape their feelings of isolation. When one brother escapes, a power shift takes place, and the brothers must learn how to integrate into society without breaking apart.
