New, BETTER indie film-making

Elena, a young factory worker from Kazakhstan, with Nashville dreams, is duped by a wannabe pimp and oddball gangster. Through a comedy of errors she crosses paths with a sweet con man moonlighting as a Robin Hood for stray animals. Both on the run from gangsters they end up at Arizona Seaside, a rundown motel. Their short but very eventful stay has some unexpected consequences.
