DramaComedy
Set in a remote Pennsylvania coal-mining town, this off-beat comedy follows the relationship between Carla, a hippie woman, and Rupert, a young punk rocker who feels like a pariah. Hoping to leave their current lives behind, the two conspire to kidnap Rupert's father and hold him for ransom.
VIBE
A strange, darkly funny journey through small-town ennui and desperate schemes. It feels like a forgotten indie gem, full of awkward charm and characters searching for a way out, no matter how ill-advised.
