Logline
A cool drama about a young woman straddling the line between a never-ending party and a sense of responsibility.
Marie is a young mother who is unable to identify with her role. She and her five-year-old son Lenny live in a camper while a temporary job at a gas station keeps them afloat. She meets Erich, a showman’s assistant, and his co-worker Haro. Together they enter the gaudy world of the fairground, but the friendship among the three of them soon goes sour. When Haro puts her son in danger, Marie’s motherly instincts begin to stir for the first time.
