Powerful, honest and wryly funny. Amidst the Great Depression, a “song collector” for the Library of Congress comes across a jailed Pearl. A descendent from slaves, Pearl herself is a living library of folk songs.  Each woman wants something the other has.  How much are they willing to give to get what they want?

Would you be able to laugh at the Apocalypse? When it involves a father who’s been in his pajamas since 9/11, a mother on a new Jesus kick, and an Elvis-impersonating neighbor, you sure can...especially when the fate of the world lies on the shoulders of Stephen Hawking! Hold on tight, it’ll be a bumpy ride.
