Locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Angulo brothers learn about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed, ‘The Wolfpack,’ the brothers spend their childhood reenacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes. With no friends and living on welfare, film feeds their curiosity, creativity and imagination, allowing them to escape from their feelings of isolation and loneliness. Everything changes when one of the brothers escapes and the power dynamics in the house are transformed. The Wolfpack must learn how to integrate into society without disbanding the brotherhood.
