Xtrems is a film based on real-life events. It uses the techniques of fiction to tell the true stories of lives that have been shattered and broken. The testimony of the real-life protagonists becomes the basis for a series of interwoven stories. The actors, the characters they play, and the real people these characters are based on, describe “extreme” experiences, revealing what it means to hit rock bottom and survive. The border between reality and fiction is elided, and the two worlds interact, feeding off one another to recreate the excesses of individuals leading double lives under the guise of normality. These are human stories, full of mistakes, conflict and confessions that give pause for thought. One more step… reach the Xtrems, and you may discover your limits.
