This fever dream dances along the thin line between falling in and out of social norms. To be or not to be a successful civilian. After a warm welcome by the One Trick Pony, the Centaurz inform us about their latest philosophies of love. Lastly, at a cosy intergalactic campfire, we catch up with the one and only Nippy Nappy Joe on the meaning of life. In between the scenes we are accompanied by some fellas with disappearing jobs, from the past and present, stuck in a time loop. Below the Spleenicle is a futuristic folklore tale about how useless and ridiculous, but at the same time comical life can feel. As if you are, in fact, a shit apple on a shit tree.
