Loosely based on a Japanese fairytale, an elderly gay couple on a farm in the 1920's South find a little girl from the moon inside an ear of corn and raise her as their own.

"On the upper left screen we watch a white bourgeois couple joylessly preparing for work: getting dressed, brushing their teeth, and eating breakfast. In the lower right corner we watch an interracial hipster couple—an Asian woman and white man—calling in sick and having sex. The alienation between the bourgeois couple is formally stressed by them being split into two frames while the interracial couple are framed together." (Quoted from Chris Robé's 'Breaking the Spell: A History of Anarchist Filmmakers, Videotape Guerrillas, and Digital Ninjas,' pg. 363)

An exquisite corpse re-imagining of "Frankenstein" created by filmmakers under lock-down with whatever means available.
