JOHNNY BERLIN, a porter aboard a luxury train expounds on his life as a struggling writer while holding down a workaday job and trying to maintain some semblance of a life on board the train. His stories are simultaneously funny and dark. The film is ultimately an intimate, offbeat, and humorous portrait of mid-life crisis. With big dreams of finishing his novel about a man who decides to roll across the United States, Johnny is a gravel-voiced, diamond-in-the-rough character, assuming literary proportions of his own. The low-fi, talking-head documentary style of the piece allows the charismatic, melancholy central figure to take center stage. This approach is a departure for director DeJoseph, whose credits include music videos for R.E.M. and Tilly and the Wall.
