Fool's Paradise (2023)

Plot: The story follows a mute man named John Doe, who has the mental capacity of a five-year-old. After being released from a mental hospital due to the state's inability to afford his treatment, John Doe ends up being homeless and takes directions from whoever he encounters. Meanwhile, a film producer, frustrated with actor Sir Tom Bingsley's refusal to leave his trailer during the shooting of a biopic about Billy the Kid, hires John Doe as a stand-in due to their uncanny resemblance. On the other hand, Lenny, a struggling publicist, aims to find talent by bribing his way onto studio lots. He mistakes John Doe's name for "Latte Pronto" due to a coffee-related demand from the producer. When Bingsley's method acting goes awry and he dies, John Doe, now referred to as Pronto, is forced to continue filming as the star. Despite his lack of acting skills and tendency to look directly into the camera, Pronto's co-stars, Christiana Dior and Chad Luxt, find inspiration in his supposed avant-garde performance and begin emulating his acting style. Lenny plans to catapult Pronto to stardom by securing him an agent and representation. Pronto befriends Luxt, who introduces him to the extravagant Hollywood lifestyle and takes him to wild parties. At the same time, Dior develops feelings for Pronto due to his genuine nature and convinces him to marry her, leading to increased media attention. The film "Billy the Kid" becomes a huge success, with critics applauding Pronto's unique breaking of the fourth wall by looking into the camera. However, conflicts arise during an after-party when Lenny asks Pronto to commit to their business relationship but receives no response
