Guatemalan Handshake
dir.
Todd Rohal, USA, 2006, 35mm, 90 mins, color
 In
the confusion following a massive power outage, an awkward demolition
derby driver vanishes, setting in motion a series of events
affecting his pregnant girlfriend, his helplessly car-less father,
a pack of wild boy scouts, a lactose intolerant roller rink
employee, an elderly woman in search of her lost dog, and his
best friend – a ten-year-old girl named Turkeylegs.
Pieces of the mystery begin to come
together as Turkeylegs sets out to find her missing friend.
Cars drive circles in the dirt, a woman attends her own funeral,
the sun rises sideways and an orange vehicle trades hands again
and again. Everything eventully culminates in a massive demolition
derby that throws all of the characters into different directions.
