The rusting relic of a failed 1950s development boom, the Salton Sea is a barren Californian landscape often seen as a symbol of the failure of the American Dream. Alma Har’el uncovers a motley cast of characters populating this land of thwarted opportunity, including a bipolar seven-year-old, a lovelorn high school football star, and an octogenarian poet-prophet. An innovative, dream-like documentary featuring music from Zach Condon, Beirut and Bob Dylan.
