Petey & Ginger

Oct 1 2012 N/A 1h 0m
Biography, Documentary, Music

When the global economy collapses the only true victors are those that weren't invited to the boom. Petey plays in a band and works in a pornography warehouse; Ginger works the night shift in a bar. From opposite coasts of the country, the two provide their personal takes on individual vs. collective crisis, together weaving a narrative that exposes a wasteland of shattered economic dreams, unfulfilled social promises and a bleak reality that only music and friendship can float freely above.

Plot

Petey & Ginger: Two Americans searching for meaning and happiness in the era of the failing economy. Petey works at a porn distribution center. Ginger used to be a stripper. She is struggling to make a living as a tarot card reader and he is touring with his garage rock band Thee Oh Sees. Petey and Ginger don't know each other but they are both in the industry of selling fantasy, in a country with a system rooted on selling just that. But with no money to buy it even fantasies don't sell - and with the financial crash of Dreamland America, money lacks.
