A slow, deadpan, and oddly tender study of a young woman's alienation, mixing clinical detachment with moments of strange warmth.

Genres
Drama
Tagline
Sexy, strange and beautifully deranged.
Overview
Marina, 23, is growing up with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance...that is until a stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel, on her own table. Her father, meanwhile, ritualistically prepares for his exit from the 20th century, which he considers to be "overrated."
