Synopsis / Plot

The film is a mockumentary about a film maker who surreptitiously collects money to make a mockumentary. The story is of course about Doze himself, who also plays the lead. A mockumentary, a fake documentary, is basically always a comedy, but this one also has some grimmer sides. Doze searches diligently for extra money for his film and this brings him into contact with dubious businessmen, corrupt politicians and other opportunists. The distinction between a film maker, a politician, a gangster and a pimp is occasionally difficult to draw.
