Kami mengikuti Otto Baxter, seorang pria berusia 35 tahun dengan Down Syndrome, selama enam tahun, saat ia menulis dan mengarahkan set musikal komedi-horor-otobiografi yang bermulut kotor di London zaman Victoria. Otto, yang selalu kesulitan menjelaskan perasaannya, menggunakan filmnya The Puppet Asylum untuk mengeksplorasi kelahiran, adopsi, dan pertarungan epiknya dengan 'The Master' – seorang penyihir jahat yang sangat ingin mengendalikan hidupnya. Selama proses pembuatan film, ibu kandung Otto meninggal dan dia menghadapi kehidupan di dunia nyata, termasuk masa depannya. Teman pembuat film Otto, Bruce Fletcher dan Peter Beard membantunya mewujudkan visinya, tetapi juga belajar lebih banyak tentang perspektif uniknya terhadap dunia dan bagaimana mereka dapat berperan di masa depannya.
We follow Otto Baxter, a 35-year-old man with Down Syndrome, over six years, as he writes and directs a foul-mouthed, autobiographical comedy-horror-musical set in Victorian London. Otto, who has always struggled to explain how he feels, uses his film The Puppet Asylum to explore his birth, adoption and his epic battle with ‘The Master’ – an evil magician hell-bent on controlling his life. During the filmmaking process Otto’s birth mother dies and he finds himself confronting life in the real world, including his future. Otto’s filmmaker friends Bruce Fletcher and Peter Beard help him to bring his vision to life, but also learn more about his unique perspective on the world and how they can play a role in his future.
