Music is the key element that triggers Julian's memories in The Imitator. The songs that were once important in his life set him off on a journey back to his childhood in South America where he discovers his passion for music and his gift for imitating voices. From there, he faces struggles in New York and Europe as he pursues his dream of becoming an artist. Singer/actor Julian Fontalvo portrays different characters who play a part in his story and imitates 70 artists, including Sting, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner, among others.
