The Long Road of the Junkmailer

Whimsical, vibrant, and memorable, this astonishing narrative is filled with a host of quirky characters caught in a collision between reality and dreams. A lonely junkmailer with a thirst for adventure finds that his search for letterboxes has taken on epic proportions. With a bag full of real estate leaflets and aided by his unusual companions—a girl who has forgotten how to cry, a Polish-Aboriginal clairvoyant, a mysterious ringmaster, and a tribe of watchful white tigers—the junkmailer proceeds on a quixotic and often melancholy journey through the sleeping streets of a subtropical city in need of redemption.
