Plot

Kitsch is a 84 year old actor formerly in his prime, but now finds himself unhappy in a luxury retirement village where he was placed by his daughter and son-in-law after the pair took his money. In an attempt to leave, while in his pajamas, he grabs his possessions and makes for the beach. He intends to regain his lost fame, and seek a new audience for his talents. Plagued by dementia he can barely remember past experiences, at times mixing up the characters he has played with his present life, and has trouble recognizing his family members.[2] [3]. Kitsch eventually encounters his estranged, younger, daughter Bonobo but due to dementia he doesn't recognize her. She scolds him as she is his only daughter who cares for him. [4] [5]
