Funny in a new and frightening way!

Comedy

Alfred Chamberlain, who suffers from an inability to feel or to be passionate about anything, meets Patsy Newquist, who takes it upon herself to mold him into "a strong, vital, self-assured man that I can protect and take care of."

VIBE

A bleakly funny, deeply cynical look at urban alienation and emotional detachment. It feels like a fever dream of a city drowning in its own apathy, where human connection is a punchline.
