Toby Amies' fascinating, very touching documentary profiles the eccentric exhibitionist Drako Oho Zarhazar at the end of his life.

He lives in a tiny Brighton flat cluttered with his memorabilia (and lots of gay pornography).

His short-term memory is gone but living up to his own slogan – Trust Absolute Unconditional – he has achieved an unlikely equanimity.

Viewers are likely to share Amies' mix of affection, exasperation and fascination with his subject.
