Storyline
Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.

In a carnival of absurdity and mortality, razor-sharp black humor shatters the polite hypocrisies of the modern world.
From riding thermonuclear warheads in Dr. Strangelove and luxury business-card envy in American Psycho, to medieval existential guilt in In Bruges and found-footage serial killers in Man Bites Dog. Across The Death of Stalin, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Lobster, this collection celebrates cinema’s most audacious, unsettling dark comedies.
