A modern fairy-tale, 'On Becoming' is the story of a young poet who is stuck at the crossroads. When he is pressured by his family to get a job, Paul must make some tough decisions. Does he have the strength to make the sacrifices necessary to be an artist? His girlfriend wants to help, but he cheats on her instead, with a sexy literary girl he meets at a reading. Confused and unable to make choices, incapable of moving forward, Paul's predicament becomes more pressing when he befriends an older critic who is profoundly dedicated to his art, and full of deep romantic leanings. Michael sees something special in Paul, and pushes him toward his calling. With literary luminaries Micheal Silverblatt and Chris Kraus.
