Overview

Rod and Cherri are the unmistakable king and queen of Echo High. When new kid Spud arrives, he makes a faux pas so bad that Rod forces him to be his girl's slave. What unfolds is the tale of Cherri and Spud's blossoming relationship behind Rod's back, and their untimely demise on the night of the prom. A tale of tragedy that could only be as irreverent and sensational through the pen (or pencils, if you will) of Bill Plympton.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grotesque, hand-drawn fever dream that splices 1950s high school melodrama with pitch-black comedy and genuine tragedy. Bill Plympton's distinctive animation style turns a tale of forbidden romance and social cruelty into something simultaneously ridiculous and haunting.
