Obscure, aging, and living on the outskirts of London, writer of supernatural fiction Quentin Crisp asks himself a fundamental existential question: ‘Who am I?' This feature-length film-essay is structured around readings of Crisp’s own zuihitsu of the same name, which, in essence, is the story of his life. As we follow Crisp on a walk deeper into the ‘‘little wood’’ of his private landscape, the binaries of success and failure begin to fade away.
