An old man lives in the poor part of town & works at the airport as a janitor. One day he finds a captain's hat in the trash & wears it home. The neighborhood kids are convinced he is a pilot, & he begins to tell them stories of far away places, living his own dreams through his stories. It is not only a study of rich versus poor, but a debate on what is right & what is wrong.This movie reminded me of Ali Zaoua from Morocco, but was much better - more complex with a deeper impact.
I saw this film as part of the Sedona International Film Festival.
