Milagros (37) stretches out a carefree youth in her last years of fertility while Jonathan (24) seeks solace in Grindr to overcome abandonment issues. Milagros is looking for sperm. Jonathan needs to escape. A delirious road movie, entirely shot in 16mm, full of music, where a mysterious mermaid with a magic crown will set the course of the journey. 　　Director's Note: 　　Facing their maternal instinct, the directors decided to make a film instead of having children. This apparently free choice hides structural impossibilities for our generation. Our early 21st-century freedom is an illusion. 　　源自：https://www.locarnofestival.ch/festival/program/film.html?fid=f64be93f-45c7-483a-9602-4126e039b36e

张扬回到乌鲁木齐的家时，才得知儿子被前妻寄养在苏哈的一个原房亲戚家。在赶往苏哈的路上，张扬遇上了刚刚失恋的林帆。为了能在沃尔图见到以前的男友，林帆借了一辆车，没想到刚开出不远，车就因为爆胎被撂在了路边。 　　尽管张扬帮林帆修好了车胎，但上路后，林帆依然保持着对陌生人的戒备，只答应把张扬带到最近的长途汽车站。在长途汽车站，张扬帮林帆识破小店主的伎俩，让林帆避免了不必要的损失。出于感谢，林帆请张扬吃饭。在和一帮过往的旅客喝酒时，林帆不胜酒力。看着昏昏欲醉的林帆，张扬不得不留下来帮林帆安排好住宿。 　　在后来一路的接触中，张扬得知林帆是因为前男友嫌她任性而决定分手，而林帆也发现了张扬一段不堪回首的往事。在经历沙漠迷路后，由于时间的关系，急着赶回监狱消假的张扬最终也没能找到自己的儿子，林帆也没有见到前任男友。 　　一年后，林帆和男友在车站等车时，偶然看到了对面站台上也在等车的张扬和他的儿子。林帆看见张扬的那一刻，张扬也似乎看见了林帆。

An all-star cast tells the inside story of the Broadway theater, and how it came back from the brink thanks to innovative work, a new attention to inclusion and a sometimes uneasy balance between art and commerce. Legends of the stage and screen—including Helen Mirren, Christine Baranski, August Wilson, James Corden, Alec Baldwin, John Lithgow, Viola Davis, Hugh Jackman and Ian McKellen—take us behind the scenes of Broadway's most groundbreaking and beloved shows, from A Chorus Line to Hamilton. Iconic performances by Lin Manuel Miranda, Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters, James Earl Jones and Mandy Patinkin lead the way on a hurly burly ride through Times Square, once again the main street of American show business in this documentary directed by Academy-Award nominee Oren Jacoby.

Amid bureaucratic obstacles, with little or no hope for real political and social changes in the country, a father and son find comfort and strength in their shared optimism for the future.
