Snakeskin

1h 30m • Drama, Thriller • 2001

Alice lives in suburban New Zealand but she’d like to live on Route 66. Alice is the classic product of the TV generation, her ordinary life can’t compare with her celluloid dreams. When Alice takes to the road, it is in search of symbols and signs, of fictitious characters and familiar events. Keeping the car on the ground is Johnny. He’s a law student with a built in requirement for responsibility. But, like Alice, he can’t escape the undercurrent of his generation, he is as frightened as anyone by the prospect of mediocrity. They’re looking for adventure at all costs and they get it when their paths cross with an American snake named Seth, a cowboy with snakeskin boots. He’s a walking myth, he can’t possibly be real…
