Synopsis
The story of Jon Jorghenson, an orphan by violence, and a student of apathy. Wiling his time away in a pawnshop, Jon discovers a hidden treasure that will alter his life profoundly - the remnants of another family's long-lost home movies.
Jon takes the films home and, over the next few days, watches the slow unfolding of another family's ("the Partridges") saga. It is a full and happy history, and Jon finds himself experiencing their life through their eyes. For the first time, Jon Jorghenson feels a part of something real. Jon begins to understand the power he possesses to change his fate. Under the pretext of a school assignment, he cuts up the home movies and edits them back together to create for himself a new and personal life history.
