It all begins with a magic object. It could be anything, a book, a tea kettle, but it draws the people who find it together in a bond which they cant comprehend. It is found in the weeds of an abandoned lot. or it is something that can be consumed and is in limited supply, like a magic bottle of vodka, or a box of magic salt. The manner in which it changes the lives around it form the basis of a film. To drink or swallow the substance gives the finder a pure feeling of love and joy connection with all objects around them. They hear and smell more acutely and for a moment all of their mistakes in the past are absolved and seen for the positive trajectory they caused into a new existence, instead of leading to false paths. The gutters flow water upwards and gurgle brackish water back up into the streets instead of swallowing water downwards. The trash of this city floats aimlessly and dream-like in the winds, as if softly moved to a proper destination different from the original metal can it was put into.
a normal, ordinary bottle of vodka begins to glow with a greenish light from within. Its that cheap vodka they sell made in Lithuania, with a generic name like Rachmaninoff. The area where the 3rd district meets the tenth is a kind of no-mans land of unfished construction sites which go on forever seemingly. The bottle allows an unlikely love to blossom between an old drunk prophet and a young beautiful deaf girl.
