Auf Sendung – unbewusst
Die Truman Show ist seit beinahe dreißig Jahren ein TV-Klassiker auf der ganzen Welt. Seit seiner Geburt ist Truman Burbank der Hauptdarsteller der Serie – ohne es überhaupt zu wissen. Produzent Christof entwarf eine künstliche Welt, genannt Seahaven, in der Truman von über 5000 Kameras 24 Stunden am Tag bei fast jeder Kleinigkeit beobachtet wird. Um die Fassade nicht zum Einstürzen zu bringen sind seine Frau, Freunde und Verwandte allesamt Schauspieler. In Folge 10909 kommt es jedoch zu diversen versehentlichen Vorfällen die Truman misstrauisch werden lassen. Obwohl Schauspieler und Produzenten alles daran setzen Truman wieder in Zaum zu halten, lässt sich dieser nicht davon abhalten nach Ungereimtheiten zu forschen. Sein Streben nach einer echten Welt wird immer stärker, er plant seinen Ausbruch.
