This is an unexpected gem that I saw on an international flight. Smart science-fiction story about a post-apocalyptic landscape peopled by very few individuals. Their amulets, shrines and other power objects are plastic toys and relics of our contemporary pop culture. The plot contains a kind of love story, a hero's quest and some revelations for the two main characters. The supporting cast of thieves, wise elders, witches and even Santa Claus make for danger and dystopia. A major plot point revolves around a mysterious space ship hovering over the landscape. This is a sweet love story as well as adventure with a few moments of fear and thrilling sensation. It has a great pace and the natural soundtrack lends a sensuality to the movie. It is really great to see an international independent film in an unlikely setting, but I recommend looking for this movie and seeing it wherever. Serious filmmaking and story telling with simplicity and total imagination!! LOVED IT!
