Still proudly flaunting its progressive values, a young independent nation prepares to celebrate an all-purpose holiday called The Sovereign. Despite the declared moral superiority, the little nation is rife with inequality, apathy and a strengthening authoritarian framework. For the 24-hour holiday, citizens are encouraged to share their blessings with the less fortunate. Predictably, the practice at times seems more like performance art rather than a community service. The story revolves around two pregnant cousins, Sila and Marilu, both throwing fundraisers for their babies' birthday funds, ultimately vying for a top donation from their rich Aunt Cara, a self-indulgent playwright. While the cousins duel for the top dollar, we drop in on the different experiences populating this patchwork community and listen in on some familiar challenges.

Natalia is a magician's assistant at the Magic Town magic club, but dreams of being more. Silly and surreal, Magic Town is a comedy about the twin shooting stars of delusion and ambition, as well as a hang-out movie for people who might be better off hanging out alone.
