天性与后天的培养究竟哪个更重要?本·莫林和妻子凯瑟琳·奥尼尔都是备受尊敬的科学家,两人进行了一项他们认为能改变人类对自己身份认知的实验:用与三个孩子遗传的天性相悖的方式抚养他们,最终证明后天对孩子的抚养可以胜过孩子先天的天性。他们希望证明人都具备达成任何成就的潜能。本和凯瑟琳在实验中发现了家庭的可贵,比起实验的科学真相,后者微不足道。
Lesbian prop-master Casey (Cam Killion) is abandoned by her girlfriend after a fight at a run-down motel, at the height of COVID-19 lockdowns in California. What’s worse, her girlfriend has taken not only her car, but her dog as well. She teams up with unemployed actor Alan (Joohun Lee) on a road trip to an audition in Canada. Casey is bitterly cynical while Alan is blindingly optimistic, which makes for a hilarious odd-couple road movie. Featuring beautifully shot landscapes, Laramie Dennis’s laidback debut feature film draws on, and queers, the work of Sam Shepard, and will delight fans of offbeat indie comedies à la the ‘90s works of Hal Hartley and Alison Anders.
