The Aliens

Midwest Premiere

All day every day, two slackers hang out behind a coffee shop by the dumpsters. These guys have elevated loitering to an almost Buddhist “tea ceremony” level, where music, Bukowski, sex, travel, philosophy, friendship and ambition (or lack thereof) are intensely meditated upon while the busy world rushes by. Enter a 17-year-old barista-cum-disciple, and so begins a summer where no one moves but everything changes.
