Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier, an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister.

Can these wise but fragile outsiders continue to survive as the modern world collapses around them?

Jim Jarmusch

Jarmusch moved to New York City at the age of seventeen from Akron, Ohio. He graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in English, class of ’75. Without any prior film experience, he was accepted into the Tisch School of the Arts, New York. He has long been considered
a seminal figure in American independent cinema. His films are often noted for their transcendent minimalism and upturning
 of traditional genres such as the road movie, western, crime-film, and detective story.
