Combining both aspects of experimental and documentary film, 'Young At Heart' creates a unique genre mirroring the charlatans and showmen who spin dubious tales of greatness and fame among the ruins of the playground of the world -- Coney Island USA. The film focuses on three characters: Captain Bob, Mayor Philly, and Tony 'The Cigar'. Their stories and memories are woven together with historical footage of Coney Island, prophecies of doom, visions of heaven and grandiose dreams.
