Plot – According to Edward Bloom, the essence of life lies in what is told. Since childhood, Edward has spent his time reading and learning many things. His thirst for adventure leads him to travel the world. He becomes famous because of the stories he tells about his eccentric life: meetings with werewolves, two Korean conjoined twins who are singers, a witch with a glass eye capable of seeing the future and a big fish that refuses to be captured. The only one not to be enchanted by his stories is his son Will, who has left home. But when Edward falls ill, Will embarks on his personal journey to shed light on his father's past.
