Well done off beat little story.

Good and interesting off beat story line. How "little people" are drawn into a web of conspiracy, on the periphery but never fully understanding the enormity of the conspiracy they are involved in. Excellent production values, a great sense of period, and great care went into the making of this film. A slice of Americana recounted with care and affection. Well acted, and well told by Ralph Clemente, a director with a good eye.
