Cassandra, a mute runaway girl, takes refuge
in the cemetery in which her mother is laid to rest. She is watched over by
Jorge, the cemetery caretaker, an illegal alien who is committed to the
restoration of a classic ‘60 cadillac hearse. Shore is a dynamic, handsome, and
brilliant young man who also happens to be homeless. After almost hitting
Cassandra in his dilapidated VW bus, he becomes fascinated by the gothic
cemetery waif and attempts to befriend her. A sequence of events results in Cass
getting lost. Jorge and Shore flee the cemetery in a stolen hearse to find
Cassandra before her abusive step-father does. All paths lead to Yermo - the
site of a roadside diner and a feisty but compassionate transvestite waitress
named Lola. |
