Synopsis

Product Description
You're in a dark movie theatre, not knowing what to expect. It's one of those indie films.

You hear epic swelling melodies with each scene, emotional melodies, the kind you associate with the best British music - The Smiths, Coldplay, Pulp, Keane.

Scene One: A man meets his neighbor on the stairs of his apartment building. The neighbor asks about his live-in girlfriend. Of course, she moved out; she doesn't live there anymore. The music repeats his despair as he repeatedly imagines meeting her on the street.

Scene Two: The film gets a little spooky. A child is playing on a playground swing while her father watches. He looks away for a second and the child is gone. All the children who have disappeared are seen hiding in a mysterious place, waiting for their chance to live again.

Scene Three: It gets downright macabre. A man meets an otherworldly creature, too beautiful and pure for this world, and assists her in leaving it.

The soundtrack sticks in your mind. It's like a trip back through the '80s alternative scene. It has jangly guitars sometimes; sometimes a straight ahead new wave guitar; sometimes lush with a synth pop groove.

It makes you feel good. It's the sad stuff that really gets you through.

Mookerjee is a songwriter from Brooklyn, former leader of the alternative band Bleak House. Listen to this classic new gloom on myspace.
