Give as a gift
Dori is a 30-year-old boy with developmental disabilities. He dreams of becoming an actor. He knows by memory all Shakespeare plays (he sings and dances Elvis Presley’s songs), and all his day is organized in function of possible meetings with producers, directors, and actors who can introduce him to the theatre and film industry. He is not taken seriously; he is even offended and, at best, finds people who feel sorry for him. He does not give up if there is no role for him in the next play or movie, as he will wait for the one after. And so, the days go by… He lies down, watching the starry ceiling reflected by the lamp in his bedroom, waiting for dreams to take him on the stage.
Director’s Statement: Dori is a real person. He is disabled but very vital. Maybe he has the burden of his obvious limitations inside him, but outside he is always smiling. He has a slight walking problem, but he acts as if it were walking in style.
