Being There

'Being There' is a film about a simple-minded gardener named Chance, who has lived his whole life in isolation working for a wealthy man in Washington, D.C.

As Chance becomes a media sensation and advisor to top political figures, he navigates this new world with childlike innocence and unintentionally influences those around him. The movie explores themes of perception, identity, and the power of media in shaping reality.
