Sammy, a second-rate talent agent (Billy Crystal), heads to Romania where he stumbles upon a 7-foot, 7-inch “giant” named Max (Gheorghe Muresan). George lives in a monestary and quotes Shakespeare, but Sammy believes Max could be his ticket to the top.

So Sammy and Max set out to fulfill their dreams. For Sammy, that means to make Max a big movie star and to get the credit for that transformation. For Max, it means finding his long-lost love, Lillianna (Joanna Pacula) in the desert of New Mexico. Along the way, they’ll both experience unexpected tranformations of the heart.
