Socially inept losers Becky and Kimmy foster a crush on the notorious documentary cameraman Joel Stone. To meet him, they’ll have to attend the biggest party in town… at the Cowboy Literary Agents’ garage. They enlist the help of Penny Simmons, an arrogant socialite who has climbed the social ladder through years of festive bum spanking.
But the losers soon learn that hot people can’t be trusted. Part comedy, part art film, part bedtime story, A Fable About Beauty is a unique hybrid of genres. Narrated by Michael O’Sullivan (Careful, Archangel) and featuring performances by Tracy McMahon (The Lookout, Fringe) Tricia Cooper and Sarah Constible, A Fable About Beauty is lyrical meditation on our misguided reverence for beautiful people.
