Sour Minnows

2026 · 83 min

A woozy, giggly drift through a Los Angeles that keeps sliding out from under you, equal parts funny and unsettling.

Overview: Two friends stumble upon an unusual sight: six men sensually licking the pavement on an empty L.A. street. For Ricky, this moment ruptures something. As reality grows porous and memory begins to slip, a delirious new logic takes hold.
How it feels: Absurd, eerie, whimsical and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Identity, madness, memory, obsession
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
