The classic, I hate your guts, no wait, I like you, my brother is deaf, let's ride a couch down the street love story. Billy is Archie's brother. Archie loves Billy. Billy is deaf. Archie straps a toy microphone around Billy's head to cure his deafness. Sophie thinks it's stupid. Sophie is Archie's girlfriend. Archie loves Sophie. Sophie isn't quite sure about Archie. Archie, Billy and Sophie find the world is much more complicated that simple sentences. Can relationships rely solely on riding couches through automatic car washes? Is a toy microphone the cure to deafness? And which is worse, getting slapped or spit on? These turn out to be very important questions in the lives of Archie, Sophie and Billy. And finding the answers comes at a very high price. If all else fails, duct tape a toy microphone to your head.
Strangely fascinating film making from Rhett and Burke Lewis, who may or may not be lovers and/or brothers, and who claim to be a scoop of Mango Crème Fudge in an otherwise plain old Vanilla film making world.
Screening with Notes.
