Pulp
Write it. Live it. But try not to be it.
A darkly comic, deliberately oblique mystery about a pulp writer and an eccentric ex-actor that blurs the line between fiction and reality through quirky character interplay and narrative ambiguity.
A seedy writer of sleazy pulp novels is recruited by a quirky, reclusive ex-actor to help him write his biography at his house in Malta.
