Follows The Teacher and his student, The Creature, played by Beau Bridges and Emily Bridges.

A unique hybrid of narrative and documentary storytelling, brings Richard Boleslavsky's 1933 novel to the screen for the first time as part of an intimate glimpse into the life and craft of a multi-generational acting family with interviews featuring Jeff Bridges, Jordan Bridges, Lucinda Bridges, and never before seen archival interview footage of Lloyd Bridges.
