Synopsis

---

Being There depicts the story of a gardener named Chance/Chauncey Gardiner who grew up living as an employee in the townhouse of a wealthy man in Washington, D.C. with virtually no contact with the outside world and no social interaction. Apart from his limited relationship with Louise, the maid, Chance's cultural and social education is derived entirely from what he watches on the televisions provided by his employer.
