Bob Saget documents the journey of his young nephew, Adam, who must undergo facial reconstructive surgery due to Treacher-Collins syndrome.

Saget’s short film is a precursor to his subsequent successful career as a stand-up comedian. In the film, he projects himself as a successful art-house filmmaker, like Bergman or Fellini, and proceeds to poll passing pedestrians about their knowledge of the “famous” local filmmaker, Bob Saget.

This film reveals through flashbacks how a 13-year-old boy and his family attempt to deal with the child's fatal affliction with leukemia. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.
