Martin Pistorius, a bright 12 year old boy living in South Africa, fell into a mysterious vegetative state as a child. Three years later, he woke up without any memories and unable to communicate. Starting from zero, he began to teach himself about the world and who he was. He was in a very real sense, a living ghost. Unaware that he understood everything happening around him, his caretakers gave him an unobstructed look at the way people act when no one is watching. Employing an expressive, dream-like style to recreate Martin's journey through layers of consciousness and memory, GHOST BOY is the story of Martin’s journey back to the world, building a life and finding love and meaning.
