In THE FABELMEN, a deeply personal portrait of an American boy’s childhood in the 20th century, Steven Spielberg gives us a cinematic recollection of the forces and family that shaped his own life and career. Through a universal coming-of-age story about a lonely young man who pursued his dreams, the film explores love, artistic ambition, sacrifices and moments of discovery that allow us to glimpse the truth about ourselves and our parents with clarity and compassion.
