- Synopsis
- Filmmaker Cat Rhinehart spends one year in 2015 closely following comedian Ralphie May, leading up to his planned weight loss surgery. Initially intended to be a weight loss documentary, what is captured instead is a raw and intimate portrait of a family dealing with addiction, a wife coming to terms with her inability to change the person she loves, and a tragically flawed comedian breaking down during one of the last years of his life. (Synopsis by director Cat Rhinehart). May died on October, 2017. He was 45 years old.
