Meet Monica Velour

2010 · 98 min

A bittersweet, gently funny character study that balances awkward comedy with quiet melancholy and compassion.

Tagline: Fantasy meets reality
Overview: For Tobe, a nerdy, horny, frizzy-haired cineaste who doesn't quite fit in with the average contemporary teen, the pinnacle of womanhood is Monica Velour, a soft-core actress who reached the zenith of her career in the 1980s. When Tobe learns that his love idol is headlining hundreds of miles away at the Gentlemen's Petting Zoo in Indiana, he drives off with carefree glory, filled with the hope of meeting her.
