The Fabelmans

Sam Fabelman's passion is filmmaking - an interest that his art-loving mother Mitzi appreciates and encourages. Sam's father Burt, on the other hand, a successful engineer, approves of Sam's work but considers it nothing more than a hobby. But the fascination for moving pictures never lets go of young Sam. The up-and-coming director stages his sisters and friends in ever more elaborate film productions. But when the Fabelmans move and there is turbulence within the family, Sam has to remember his love of cinema and the power of films more than ever in order not to lose sight of his dreams.
