A strange, melancholic coming-of-age film that uses surreal imagery and detached observation to explore alienation, mortality, and the tentative possibility of human connection.

Marina, 23, is growing up with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance...that is until a stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel, on her own table. Her father, meanwhile, ritualistically prepares for his exit from the 20th century, which he considers to be "overrated."
