When his eccentric and unconventional family becomes the subject of a local photographer's lens, Pecker's photographs quickly gain attention from the art world and catapult him into unexpected fame.

The film explores Pecker's journey as he navigates his newfound success, simultaneously celebrating and questioning the nature of fame and the art world. Along the way, he grapples with the conflicts between his genuine intentions as an artist and the commercialization of his work.
