Gentleman mendiant. Pionnier de l'animation canadienne. Finaliste dans la course aux Oscars. Pauvre clochard. Artiste incapable de créer. Dieu observant le monde, ange déchu. Arrogant. Timide. Brisé, mais non anéanti.
Réalisé par Chris Landreth, Ryan oscille entre l'animation et le documentaire, échappant ainsi à toute définition banale. Le film s'inspire de la vie de Ryan Larkin, un animateur canadien qui, il y a trente ans, a réalisé à l'Office national du film certaines des oeuvres d'animation les plus marquantes de son époque.
Ryan fait entendre la voix de Ryan Larkin et celles de gens qui l'ont connu par l'entremise d'étranges personnages en 3D, tordus, brisés et désarticulés... des personnages dont les allures bizarres, humoristiques ou simplement troublantes reflètent l'univers psycho-réaliste de Chris Landreth.
