Rebellious young Axel Blackmar gets caught up into the family car business when his cousin, Paul, coaxes him to come to Arizona to attend the wedding of their Uncle Leo. As Axel makes the decision to try selling Cadillacs with his family, he meets an eccentric woman named Elaine and her equally quirky stepdaughter, Grace. Their lives become inextricably intertwined through romance, dreams – and death.

This film feels like a beautiful, meandering fever dream, blending offbeat humor with profound melancholy. It's a journey through a landscape of eccentric characters and surreal moments, wrapped in a whimsical, almost poetic visual style. Expect a contemplative, slightly disorienting, yet ultimately charming experience.
