Fando and his partially paralyzed lover Lis search for the mythical city of Tar. Based on Jodorowsky's adaptation of a play by surrealist Fernando Arrabal. Yup, it's that vague, but strangely moving.

A werewolf that performs open-heart surgery, bouts of Shakespearian verse and an undercover police operation are just some of the bizarre situations - and confrontations - the trio find themselves in. Flawed yes but there are moments of quirky genius to be had and every ounce of nuance find out more...
