Synopsis:

A freakish fairy tale from New Zealand about a dump attendant named Gert who is escorting a lovely woman named Plum to her wedding. The movie is all in black and white, and the camera crew is big on odd angles and jitteriness. The crowning touch, though, is the director Florian Habicht's decision to record the dialogue first, then film the scenes. Sometimes words and visuals match, sometimes they don't. (Nicholas Butler plays Gert, but Steve Abel provides the voice; Teresa Peters is Plum, but Mardi Potter does the talking.) Mr. Habicht is striving for the type of fairy tale that isn't meant for children. Gert and Plum drop their clothes instead of bread crumbs to mark their path, and they encounter unpleasant beings who make trolls look good. Moviegoers looking to energize their nightmares will love it.

An innocent rubbish tip assistant, Gert, is given the task of escorting a beautiful mute 'princess', Plum, on a perilous journey to meet her prospective husband. Their journey is fraught with danger, challenges, romance and discovery. In surreal action, they encounter a menagerie of characters and animals in far-flung corners of New Zealand.
