MOVIE SYNOPSIS - Mary & I – A Late Bloomer’s Quest for Love, is a heartfelt documentary and the directorial debut of stand-up comedian and filmmaker Wally Zamwa. The film follows Wally, a young man from Sweden, as he grapples with mental health and feelings of being adrift in life. At the age of 29, he discovers “Mary”, a herb which becomes a turning point in his life and sparks a journey of self-discovery, healing, and purpose. The documentary, told with warmth, wit, and depth, evolves from a search for the truth about the healing properties of cannabis into a decade-long exploration of self-love, ambition, and a fight to challenge Sweden’s strict drug policies. Along the way, Wally travels to various international locations, including Barcelona, Colorado, Toronto, Christiania in Copenhagen, and Amsterdam, capturing how different cultures relate to his “new found love of Mary”, identity, and freedom.
