Marwencol” is a documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp.

After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard.

What begins as a form of therapy for both the physical and emotional trauma of his attack soon develops into something much more.
