What it’s about. Er ist erst 18 Jahre alt und arbeitet in einer Imbissbude in Baltimore. Und er schießt nebenbei - ziemlich wackelige - Bilder von seinen bizarren Familienangehörigen ... und was ihm sonst noch über den Weg läuft. Der Alltag des Hobby-Fotografen Pecker ist genauso unscharf und einfach wie seine Werke. Aber weil man in New York fasst jede neue Kunstform bejubelt, erhält auch Pecker seine Chance. Schon bald avancieren die Bilder seiner durchgeknallten Familie zum Kult-Objekt in der Szene. Dummerweise geht Peckers Erfolg in Baltimore nach hinten los - die Presse bringt die peinlichsten Geschichten zutage, und die Betroffenen finden das nicht so witzig wie die New Yorker Künstlerszene. Für Pecker wird der Erfolg echt "too much" ...
