Awarded the Dove Foundation's Faith-based Seal, Real is a spiritual film containing four separate stories about four different people encountering Christ in their own way. Real is about real people, real stories, a real God. The lives of four individuals unravel as they face a world of consequences thrust upon them as a product of their choices. Reality is the result. With solid acting, these stories carry meaning and encourage the viewer that hope is always alive. All of our lives we've been told that life isn't fair, yet no one has ever bothered to tell us why or what to do about it. Is life merely a culmination of our own failures, compounded one after another, or are things truly beyond our control? Is there a God? If so, is He truly out there, looking on us lovingly, or does He despise us and laugh as we stumble around in the darkness of our own humanity?

A motorcycle accident, bone cancer, a speeding truck crashing into a boy on a stolen bicycle--tragic, life-changing events turn the worlds of three young men upside down. Three very different personalities have only one thing in common--their passion for basketball.

 

Meet Tomomi Nomiya, a young tough whose passion for basketball is at the core of his very being. When he gets into a motorcycle accident rendering a girl paralyzed for life, his world is turned on its head. Tomomi quits his team, drops out of school, and struggles to find some kind of resolution to his oppressive feelings of guilt.
