In the cheap glitter and glow of a fading Coney Island a group of characters live out their sordid, strange lives trying to get somewhere fast - any way they can. Desperately trying to love and be loved. These cops, call girls, mafia hoods, transvestites, fortune-tellers, clowns, and freaks are all intertwined, heading on a crazy roller coaster ride into a black hole they think is life. All of these characters are totally removed from the 60s America that, at the same time, is violently changing its values, fast. It is how hard they try, with the deck stacked against them, that we root for them in amazement. The film is done in funny hand drawn animation which makes their story even more amazing to watch. We invite you to enjoy the show.

É um drama forte e intenso, muito bem dirigido, que nos trás os problemas enfrentados pela gravidez e casamentos prematuros de jovens despreparados e uma estrutura para a vida cheia de compromissos e proibições. O casamento e a maternidade exigem mais do que os jovens estão dispostos a conceder. As alternativas parecem impossíveis dentro da rotina diária, e a irresponsabilidade combinada com a traição conjugal parece à válvula de escape disponível. Mas quando o amor é mais forte, e um dos dois está determinado a conquistar uma vida melhor e não se importa de assumir riscos, todas as dificuldades podem ser corajosamente superadas.
