Produktinformationen "Matter Out of Place"
A grieving mother ghost-hunts in Virginia City. A college student's field trip to the Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel spurs a sexual awakening. A boy starts a wildfire on Peavine while trying to impress his crush. A schoolteacher is dismissed, and the aftermath unfolds in a schoolwide email chain. A woman tries on new identities at Burning Man. All must contend with their complicated histories and answer the question: is being from a place the same as being of it? Experimental in its approach and unflinching in its execution, Matter Out of Place is an exploration of bright spots of humanity in dark underbellies, a feminist reckoning with "sin," and a love letter to the strange mirage that is northern Nevada. It inhabits physical and digital spaces with equal wariness, and its characters—filled with grit—navigate the fraught divide between appearances and reality, approval and judgment, gambling everything despite knowing that the house always wins.
