Ben is strange: he walks around with gloves and is always carrying shopping
bags in both hands. He meets Tamar, who is intrigued by his secret. Slowly, they
become friends. Ben doesn’t want anyone to pity him. His way of dealing with his pain is
through his imagination, zany humor and laughter. “Ben’s Biography” deals with the very
sensitive subject of child abuse. Sounds grim? It’s not! The film is moving and unusually
funny.
