Ralph is a man trying to develop land in New York's
hottest outlying neighborhood - Alaska. He begins a metaphysical love
affair with a talking building, and together they attempt to create a
Newer York City for the Arctic.
A bizarre and heartbreaking melodrama, in perfect proportion to the city we
live in.
