When Ester Martin saw Eli in the distance, he recognized himself for the first time in someone else. By intertwining a documentary conversation between Ester Martin and Eli in the bathtub with staged episodes from a boy’s upbringing, the film manages to tell a deeply personal story that is also universal.
