An eclectic, quasi-surreal city road movie about two unspoken lovers who cruise a ’68 Mustang through a dreamscape of pizza joints, art-deco skyscrapers, eclipsed suns, surf beaches and palm-fringed oceans, where red neon, hi-techno beats and old-school surf-punk collide. Drawing on Gen X daydreams, it’s a playful, sun-lit comedy of friendship, desire and neon-tinged visions that rides straight into a feel-good happy end.
