True story, related, but not identical to the subject of the thread. Many years ago we were talking about movies, and Marzena couldn't remember name of one of the main characters of the movie; she couldn't even remember the movie title. All she was able to articulate was that the guy was a father of the princess' brother.

Oh, that is vague... Um...

Eh, how about a hint? Is it a documentary about British royalty? (They're always British in every movie, no exception.)

In the event I'm not horribly off mark, here's mine: Three (or four, or five including a god-like... alien... time-traveling... thing) kids act out old psychologists' nightmares in funny suits.
