Trailer
A middle-aged comedian goes on tour in the Californian desert, performing in decadent venues. Besides sightseeing as he travels, he looks for his daughter, with whom he has not spoken in many years. During the day, he walks through desolate landscapes, distancing himself from people he meets. At night, he develops his sinister persona on stage. The world around him takes increasingly surreal turns as his reunion with his daughter approaches and a promise of success in Hollywood is about to materialize. Sundance and Locarno Film Festivals 2015.
