Welcome to Marwen
You can't put this hero in a box.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Produced by DreamWorks Pictures, Universal Pictures
A semi-biographical drama about trauma and recovery that blends live-action struggle with whimsical fantasy, finding redemption through creative expression and the support of meaningful relationships.
When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town named Marwen where he can heal and be heroic. As he builds an astonishing art installation — a testament to the most powerful women he knows — through his fantasy world, he draws strength to triumph in the real one.
