Where is Gary?Jean-Baptiste Dumont
November 26, 2009. At Brussels’ South Station filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Dumont falls victim to a con man who introduces himself as Gary Wilson. He claims his wallet has been stolen and asks Jean-Baptiste to lend him the hundred Euro he needs to buy a train ticket home. Gary gives him his address and promises to transfer him the money as soon as he can. Jean-Baptiste hands over the cash…and never hears from Gary again. That is, until he Googles his name and discovers he is dealing with a pro. “Gary” has been using the exact same trick in train stations and airports all over Europe for years, as stated by several people on various websites. This “Gary” begins to fascinate Jean-Baptiste, who decides to track him down. It’s not the hundred Euro he wants back, he just wants to find out who Gary is. He contacts other victims and asks them for their help. Every clue as to who Gary is and where he could be is welcome. But Jean-Baptist’s mission turns out to be a bumpy road. One filled with fun situations, as well as doubts and ethical questions.
