Jimmy is a young man who was born without an immune system and has lived his life within a plastic bubble in his bedroom... who pines for the sweet caresses of girl-next-door Chloe. But when Chloe decides to marry her high school boyfriend, Jimmy – bubble suit and all – treks cross-country to stop her.
This quirky, sun-drenched oddity captures the surreal absurdity of a teenager navigating life inside a literal plastic sphere. Expect a frantic, low-budget road trip filled with eccentric characters and a relentless pursuit of teenage romance.
