	Additional Information


	A dark commentary on conformity in American society, Mortarville is the story of "Jack Smith," a man created from a test tube. Raised in a secret underground government facility with other test-tube boys, who are punished harshly for any minor infraction, Jack is taught to understand the outside world by reading comic books and watching old television shows. After repeated escape attempts, he is programmed to remember that he had a family, and is released to live in Mortarville, a decaying industrial city. However, no matter how hard he tries to belong to the real world, he cannot shake the memories of his past, which leads to a spectacular and moving conclusion.
