A hilariously dark and unconventional love story, following two people on the edge of life who find purpose and romance through an unlikely connection, escaping the darkness in search of some sunlight.
In New Mexico, Roy (Shenoah Allen), a dysfunctional Radio host is pulled from the noose by Monkey-clad Jane (Nina Conti, who also writes and directs), who is escaping a controlling relationship with her dead mum's toyboy husband. Together they dig up the grave of Roy's dad to retrieve the watch they hope will fund a new life built on a shaky dream. This is beauty and the beast in reverse. Love grows between Roy and Jane, who finds a ballsy new voice from within the fur but feels she can't come out until she is truly loved. From the mind of brilliant British comedian and ventriloquist Nina Conti, she directs her first film and has succeeded in creating something truly heart-warming and genuine.
