ABOUT THE FILM:
Five Time Champion immerses its viewer in a typical Texas town, home to a cast of characters that is anything but typical. While the main character, a young scientist named Julius, steadfastly researches the asexual reproduction of worms, his natural
curiosity leads him to discover some inconvenient truths about those around him. He keeps a diligent eye, but unfortunately, all of his heartbreakingly acute observation
seems to prove that no solution will restore the people he cares about to their appropriate roles.
For a boy who would like every equation to work out as neatly as his science
experiments, these character complications are torturous, and Julius frantically sets himself to the task of
righting everything. After a few misadventures, and digging deeper into the truth, Julius returns to his home town old enough to embrace the the bonds of family that extend beyond
sex, beyond small failures, and even beyond betrayal, to hold us together in a world that threatens to fall apart. |
