Chained for Life
Aaron Schimberg
Comedy, Drama | United States | 2018 | 1h31
On the set of a horror film with artistic pretensions, the beautiful Hollywood actress Mabel, who plays the role of a blind woman, admits to being outside her comfort zone. The production has brought on several disabled actors, including Rosenthal, a nervous comedian with a major facial deformity. Mabel struggles to identify with him, but as their characters connect on camera, the actors do the same behind it.
