Synopsis

In this dreamy allegory of the Tarot, ingénue and unlikely heroine “AP” searches for salvation from a curse. Her path sends her on a quest through the surreal underworld of Trashtown – a dystopian landscape of industrial decay and pastel cotton-candy skies. As she journeys through the night, AP confronts a series of unhinged characters and absurd situations, each more unsettling than the last. And yet, beneath these campy aesthetics is a surprisingly heartfelt story that suggests the world itself is the most powerful curse of all.
