A lush 16mm fever dream that reimagines The Fool’s Journey of the Major Arcana of the Tarot through the story of AP—a rosy young woman seeking salvation from a curse. She is promised by not just one, but multiple psychics, that it can be lifted for a cool $1000 and a simple teeny tiny sacrifice of a baby lamb. So she makes money the only way she knows how: scootering her way deeper into the night, and into the uncouth underbelly of Trashtown. In this irreverent and sexy dark comedy, AP collides with a series of larger-than-life characters and absurd situations—each more unhinged than the last—as she winds her way towards the inevitable. Fucktoys is a campy romp that explores the intersection of intimacy, exploitation, and class in a pre-millenium alternate universe; a rich collage of humid industrial landscapes and pastel cotton candy skies.
