Cuando muere su padre, Leo interrumpe sus estudios de diseño de moda en Londres y regresa a su ciudad natal Gijón, donde vive su excéntrica madre María. En una ciudad que experimenta una recesión con turistas que disminuyen después de una crisis económica, la madre y la hija llevan una vida incómoda.
Red (Nicholas Cage) es un leñador que vive alejado del mundo junto al amor de su vida, Mandy (Andrea Riseborough). Un día, mientras da un paseo abstraída en una de las novelas de fantasía que suele leer a diario, Mandy se cruza sin saberlo con el líder de una secta que desarrolla una obsesión por ella. Decidido a poseerla a cualquier precio, él y su grupo de secuaces invocan a una banda de motoristas venidos del infierno que la raptan y, en el proceso, hacen añicos la vida de Red. Decidido a vengarse y equipado con toda clase de artilugios, pone en marcha una matanza que deja cuerpos, sangre y vísceras allá por donde pasa.
Death Cab for Cutie presents: Directions, an innovative anthology of 11 short films inspired by each song on the band's acclaimed album Plans. Every song was directed by a different director and includes 2 bonus videos of unreleased songs. The unprecedented collection came about as the brainchild of otaku-house, the production company owned and run by childhood friends Nick Harmer, bassist for Death Cab for Cutie, and video director Aaron Stewart-Ahn. They saw the opportunity to enlist a variety of talented young artists to each make a short film set to a Death Cab song, without the constraints of the traditional music video- no arbitrary performance footage, the band themselves would not appear in the films. The ultimate goal was to create a series of small films that worked together as both individual pieces of art and as a unified whole.
Led by a group dynamic that embraces experimentation even as it celebrates classic pop and folk forms, The Decemberists are firmly established as a completely original happening in the world of contemporary indie rock. This DVD captures the band in the midst of their rise to prominence with a live recording of a performance at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon on November 4, 2005.
