SYNOPSIS:
An apt mix of humour and humanity, "Beauty Day" is a feature length documentary which chronicles the life and times of cable television star Ralph Zavadil.

The film combines broad comedic beats underlined by a subdued, introspective philosophizing on life, akin to Errol Morris' "vernon, Florida" or Chris Smith's "American Movie".
