Description
Summary:
Abductees tells the story of five true tales of alien abduction. Ape features a grouchy, married couple battling daily over their nightly dinner--a cooked, whole monkey. Club of the Discarded tells how a family of discarded mannequins enjoy a quiet life in an abandoned warehouse until a group of hipster mannequins move in and ruin the neighborhood. Gentle Spirit depicts the psychological landscape--fraught with entrapment and violence--between a young woman and an ominous male figure. Joy Street is the story of a woman's journey from suicidal despair to personal renewal, with the help of an unlikely spirit guide. The Story of the Cat and the Moon, a Portuguese mini-epic of unrequited love, follows a cat who is beguiled by an always out-of-reach moon.
