A musical film by Adam Castle





    In a nocturnal landscape of nightclubs, hotel rooms and theatres, four people swap between being performers or audience.


    Two women, Vanessa and Ms. Pasture, and two men, Redbrick and Phelix, find themselves in a swirl of interconnecting vignettes as they sing and dance for each other.


    Redbrick pays Phelix to watch him dance, Phelix turns Ms. Pasture into a drag queen and Ms. Pasture peels back the unconscious Redbrick’s eyes so he can watch Vanessa.


    Songs, from jazz numbers, to acapella, to karaoke ballads weave themselves throughout this interior nightscape
