Urban Tale
A boy and a girl wake up in bed one morning, naked. The children's mother died a few weeks earlier. Before she died she asked her children to find their birth father who left them when they were still babies. Their quest in search of their father leads them to hospitals, nursing homes and holding cells. In the course of the quest the brother and sister meet people who provide them - like in parallel quantum universes - a glance into what their future lives may hold for them.

Too much of everything
A different way of telling a story
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
The movie revolves around a brother and sister, and nothing in their lives interests them except sex. The brother says something conventional about how he's young enough to be anything he wants to be, but he shows no sign of wanting to be anything, or even having any interesting abilities. We have no reason to like them, unless we admire them for being edgy enough to have incestuous sex. They meet a number of other people who declaim monologues-- sometimes straight at the camera-- which are either also about sex or about what's wrong with their lives. None of this engages the audience, because the characters appear to be right: their lives are a waste.
