The Fabelmans

The Fabelmans is a coming-of-age story that follows the life of Sammy Fabelman, a young boy who grows up in post-World War II Arizona with a passion for filmmaking. Encouraged by his artistic mother and supportive father, Sammy spends his childhood making home movies with his family and friends, exploring the power of cinema to capture life's moments and tell stories. As he grows older, Sammy discovers a dark family secret that threatens to tear his family apart, and he must navigate the challenges of adolescence while learning to harness the emotional power of film to understand himself and those around him. Along the way, he faces bullying and discrimination at school, but ultimately finds solace in his art and the support of his loved ones. The film is a semi-autobiographical account of director Steven Spielberg's own childhood and journey to becoming a filmmaker, offering a personal and intimate look at the forces that shaped his life and career.
