A young dictator awakens in purgatory, where he encounters a mysterious, nearly blind old man who also turns out to be a dictator. Trapped in a strange space with no apparent way out, the two begin to unravel their relationship, gradually turning their encounter into a confrontation that will force each of them to confront their own sense of superiority.

**Is it right for your kids?** A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.

We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. [Sign in to get started](/login).
