Interweaving the forms of personal filmmaking, abstract animation and rock opera, this animated musical documentary examines the rise and fall of a nearly-defunct poster and postcard wholesale business. Using alternate lyrics as voice-over narration, the piece adopts the form of a popular rock album reinterpreted as a cine-performance.
