Magonia (2001)
A sea faring father, a man living on the edge of mental sanity, periodically sees his young son. During the visits, the father tells the boy stories, exotic as well as close to home, about Magonia. This is a mythical place where clouds represent impossible dreams and unfulfilled desires. But the characters in this imaginary place all curiously resemble people now living near the father.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
