Alice lives at her parents’ place at the age of 27 with no private life or a relationship. It takes a bicycle accident and a short coma to make her realize that it’s time to move out.
Eight-year-old Matilda’s memories of her family take the form of surreal visions. They feature her grandmother – a circus member and ex-mermaid, her erotically overheated mother, and her missing father whose broken heart, anger, and jealousy manifest as a rhino. Present and past actions are in a constant state of metamorphosis.
