SIAM SUNSET Special Presentations

SIAM SUNSET is a dangerously funny romantic adventure about a man’s search for peace in the face of overwhelming catastrophe. Perry’s perfect life creating colors for an English paint company has become one of constant misfortune. He has a sense that he has become a plaything of the universe, the butt of some cruel, cosmic joke. Wherever he goes, he attracts catastrophes that threaten him and everyone nearby. However, Perry believes that a color he can see in his head called “Siam Sunset,” might somehow bring about his salvation. In desperation, he travels to one of the most desolate parts of Australia in search for this special color. Along the way, he meets Grace, a woman as troubled by the world as he is. Together, they decide to give life, and maybe love, a second chance. But will the universe let them?
