About the Film
SYNOPSIS
Baby dreams not only of viral fame but of elevating the mundane. Her brother Bhing, a beautiful yet ailing boy, hustles on the streets, tending to the “obsolete mammoths” of the road, then hustles more to make ends meet. As spectres of homelessness, hunger and fascism draw near, the siblings embark on a mission to reclaim their beloved family vehicle from a guarded junkyard and fulfill a job order from a film worker. This quest seems to be their only hope for a homecoming to the countryside— blending humor, whimsy and music in a fairytale-like narrative of nostalgia, grief, dream making and the pursuit of resistance amidst a developing urban nightmare.
