A hunchback dwarf. A derelict spacecraft. A frightening Santa Claus. A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle orbiting a planet. All par for the course in this outlandish and captivating post-apocalyptic sci-fi oddity from Ethiopia. Spanish-born, Addis Ababa-based director Miguel Llansó has fashioned an eccentrically charming, low-budget bizarro love story about two survivors, Birdy and Candy, who brave the new world together from the bunker of an abandoned bowling alley and protect themselves from wasteland marauders. This head-scratching headtrip is a gem of a curio and a true offbeat delight.
