A small but growing Texas town, filled with strange and musical characters, celebrates its sesquicentennial and converge on a local parade and talent show.
A tiny Texas town teeters on the brink of chaos as local eccentricities collide during a frantic sesquicentennial celebration. This surreal comedy captures the absurd friction between suburban quietude and the loud, melodic madness of a community in revolt.
