Jeanne, a shy young woman, works at night in an amusement park where she likes to stroll cleaning the paths.

“Wittock has created a movie that pushes back against the norm and doesn’t just give us something that’s watchable, it’s a visual masterpiece with a commanding lead performance; a message about love and acceptance that is as thunderous as it is beautiful.” – Ryan Larson, Ghastly Grinning
