Two young men compete for the love of Ginger, a lonely and emotionally fragile activist who earns a living advocating for animal rights. A quasi-love triangle in which the characters desperately try to connect with each other.
Sensitive and sophisticated, Alison Bagnall doesn’t avoid somewhat grotesque situations in which the hostility of the world is fought through a tone of friendly uncertainty that recalls the brothers Grimm or David Gordon Green’s first films. The beauty of the shots that capture the two main characters’ walks has its correlation in the sadness beneath those lives at the mercy of the general lack of understanding. The film creates for them the possibility of friendship as refuge and fatality, through which the scruffy beings “live as they are,” with their own faults and their inability to adapt. Few times has the term indie meant this amount of freedom and commitment to its creatures –to Bagnall, sad comedy is an article of faith as well as a passport capable of driving us to unexpectedly meet people like us.
