Call Me Harry
Synopsis
Unable to afford a plane ticket to Australia to visit his daughter he starts to take out credit cards under the names of famous actors of the past in order to buy the friendship of strangers. Generally these tale of the theatre are not well received, however the one place where he is welcomed with open arms is the community centre where he goes to read to the elderly. He is a favourite of Mrs Holmes a particularly sparky resident of the centre.
Harry's delusions escalate and he starts to pass himself off as film director Terrence Malick to gain preferential treatment at the theatre while all the time the credit card company is trying to track him down. When Mrs Holmes dies Harry is left enough money to visit his daughter, however by now the credit card company's net is closing in.
