The Man Whose Mind Exploded is a unique documentary that follows Drako Zaraharzar, a man with severe brain damage, as he struggles to care for himself and connect with the world. After a head injury, Drako suffers from terrible memory loss and can only access memories from before the accident. To cope with depression, he chooses to live "completely in the now." The film's director, Toby Amies, initially sets out to make a documentary about Drako's fascinating past, including his work with Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. However, as the film progresses, Amies finds himself becoming Drako's caregiver, navigating the complexities of their relationship and the challenges of Drako's eccentric lifestyle. The result is a moving, humorous, and thought-provoking exploration of the bond between two men living in different realities.
