TATSUMI celebrates the life and work of Japanese comics artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi. In post-war occupied Japan, young Tatsumi's passion for comics eventually becomes a means of supporting his poor family. Already published as a teenager, talented Tatsumi finds even greater inspiration after meeting his idol, famous Disneyesque animator Osamu Tezuka. Despite his steady success, Tatsumi begins to question why Japanese comics should cater to children with cute and whimsical tales and drawings. In 1957, Tatsumi coins the term gekiga (dramatic pictures) and redefines the manga landscape by encouraging an alternative genre for adults. Realistic and disquieting, Tatsumi's work begins to grapple with the darker aspects.

改編自日本漫畫大師辰巳嘉裕的自傳作品《劇畫漂流》…經歷第二次世界大戰後，少年辰巳在漫畫壇已薄有名氣，他更得到手塚治虫賞識，畫功突飛猛進。年少有成的他發現當時漫畫市場，只流行畫風可愛或童話式的漫畫，所以在1957年，他創立了「劇?」(Gekiga) 的寫實風格，開創漫畫界新先河，創作以成人讀者而設的漫畫，以刻劃社會的現實及展現人性陰暗面為抱負。
