The Fabelmans

Coming-of-age drama inspired by Steven Spielberg's youth.

Steven Spielberg's film THE FABELMANS is a deeply personal portrait of an American childhood and at the same time a cinematic homage to the (family) relationships that have shaped the filmmaker's life and career. Sam Fabelman's (Gabriel LaBelle, Predator - Upgrade) passion is filmmaking - an interest that his art-loving mother Mitzi (four-time Oscar® nominee Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea) appreciates and encourages. Sam's father Burt (Paul Dano, There Will Be Blood), on the other hand, a successful engineer, approves of Sam's work but considers it little more than a hobby. But the fascination for moving pictures never lets go of young Sam. In ever more elaborate film productions, the up-and-coming director puts his sisters and friends in the limelight. 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.
