Tell Me Who I Am (2019)

“When Alex came back from the hospital, he didn’t know who his mother was. He didn’t know his house. He didn’t know his bedroom. Didn’t know his girlfriend. He didn’t know he was in England. He didn’t know… anything. But he knew… me. He knew who I was. If you’ve only got one fact in your mind, one thing that you know 100%, one thing that is yours, of your own, not something that anybody’s given you, you then build everything around that fact. He had to trust me because he didn’t have anybody else to trust. Without me, he had nothing. ” – Marcus
