Synopsis

Life Cast is an experimental documentary that follows Tom Mayr, a make-up artist specialized in silicone prosthetics, as he creates an aging double of a young man, Hansi. Through this meticulous process, a fictional relationship emerges between Hansi and his older self, Hans. The film gradually blurs the lines between documentary and fiction.
