WARM BLOOD

SYNOPSIS

Red, a runaway in the 1980s, returns to the outskirts of her Northern California hometown to track down her wayward father. Along the way, she falls in with a young drifter in this grungy, politically subversive mix of narrative, documentary, and trash B-movies about the underbelly of America. Charnoski skillfully moves the film from harsh, even brutal realism to flights of surrealism and beyond.
