Mary, a lonely 8-year-old girl living in Melbourne’s suburbs, picks a random name from the phone book to find a pen pal. She starts to write to Max, an obese 44-year-old Jewish man with Asperger’s Syndrome living in New York City. Over two decades, an unlikely friendship blossoms between the two.
Inspired by a true story from Adam Elliot—an Oscar winner for his earlier short Harvie Krumpet—this acclaimed stop-motion animation charts the unlikely friendship budding between two pen pals. It approaches difficult subject matter elegantly and with sensitivity. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman.
