Experimental feature MY MEXICAN BRETZEL uses silent home movies, fleeting snippets of sound, and diaristic narration to tell the story of Vivian Barrett, a wealthy Swiss woman, and her husband, Léon, a WWII pilot-turned-entrepreneur. Partial hearing loss doesn't impede Léon from creating a pharmaceutical wonder drug that changes their lives, propelling the go-lucky couple into a world of adventure, luxury, romance, and mystical truth-seeking. From the 40s through 60s, from the Alps to Le Mans to New York to Hawaïi, vulnerability, loss, truth, belonging, and mid-century opulence are explored in a way that only the magic of cinema allows... with a dazzling twist.
