Sailor has just been released from jail. He reunites with Lula, to whom he's bound by passionate – and mutual – love. But her mother does everything to prevent it – she doesn't shy away from hiring not only a private eye, but even gangsters. The young couple has no other choice than to flee and embark on a journey to California filled with Elvis Presley and the witches of Oz. This “Lynchesque” romance won a Palme d'Or in Cannes.
