Andrew Garfield gets into the shoes of Jonathan Larson, author of “Rent”, one of the most iconic musicals in history, with the direction of pulitzer and Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton”, “In the neighborhood”) in “Tik Tik… Boom!”. Both the film and “Rent” follow the story of Jon, an aspiring theatrical composer who, while working in a New York restaurant in the nineties, writes what he hopes will be the next great American musical. As time sets in, Jon will ask himself the question that all of us who live while trying to pursue a dream ask ourselves: What am I supposed to do with the little time I have left?
