With endless stories popping up across the globe about mysterious appearances at house parties, photo-bombings and pranks in public toilets, director Tommy Avallone goes on a mission to track down the elusive man behind the myth.

“It just doesn’t matter if we win or lose” is Bill Murray’s refrain in Meatballs, his first starring role. From Saturday Night Live to Ghostbusters to Groundhog Day to Coffee and Cigarettes, he has become an iconic figure. This ode to Murray reveals how his roots in improvisational comedy have inspired him to move in mysterious ways.

With tall tales flying around of Bill Murray stepping in to do some bar-tending, crashing karaoke booths, photo-bombing and doing the washing up at a student house party, director Tommy Avallone sets out on a wild goose chase to track him down. Mixing performance, spontaneity and reality in a way that defies expectations, Bill Murray is marching to his own beat, and blazing a trail of bizarre, far-fetched and very funny stories along the way.
