Description
"Have you ever wondered what is the meaning of life? Why do we exist? The answer to this vexing question is now within your reach! You'll find it in a small yet amazing booklet, which will explain, in easy to follow, simple terms your reason for being! The booklet, printed on the infest paper, contains illuminating exquisite pictures, and could be yours for $9.99."
This is the ad that alters the life of Dave Peck—unemployed, 28 years old and still living at home. In his life-threatening struggle to share an epiphany with the world, Dave's surreal path crosses with those of his unusual neighbors: an old man and his disgruntled guardian angel, a magician in debt, a bewitching woman who likes her men extra smooth, a broken-hearted man who joins a fraternity of two-inch tall students, and a little boy who sets his piggy bank free. Their stories are woven together, examining the post-modern meaning of hall and heaven on earth.
Using stop motion puppet animation, $9.99 offers less than 10 bucks' worth of insight into the human condition.
