Bombay Beach

"ساحل بمبئی" یکی از فقیرترین جوامعیست که در جنوب کالیفرنیا و در سواحل دریای سالتون، دریایی که توسط انسانها در میانه صحرای کلرادو ساخته شده، صحرایی که روزگاری مکانی زیبا برای گذراندن تعطیلات بوده اما امروزه محل مرگ ماهی ها قرار گرفته...

Bombay Beach is one of the poorest communities in southern California located on the shores of the Salton Sea, a man-made sea stranded in the middle of the Colorado desert that was once a beautiful vacation destination for the privileged and is now a pool of dead fish. Film director Alma Har'el tells the story of three protagonists. The trials of Benny Parrish, a young boy diagnosed with bipolar disorder whose troubled soul and vivid imagination create both suffering and joy for him and his complex and loving family. The story of CeeJay Thompson, a black teenager and aspiring football player who has taken refuge in Bombay Beach hoping to avoid the same fate of his cousin who was murdered by a gang of youths in Los Angeles; and that of Red, an ancient survivor, once an oil field worker, living on the fumes of whiskey, cigarettes and an irrepressible love of life. Together these portraits form a triptych of manhood in its various ages and guises, in a gently hypnotic style that questions whether they are a product of their world or if their world is a construct of their own imaginations.
