What happens when trans and queer stories go completely off the rails? WTTF is a wild mix of surreal and absurd tales in which cars become possessed,goats may be bisexual, your past self returns to haunt you, and the demon you summon might just give you a vagina.
It’s strange, funny, and unhinged. Dare to experience it?
You’ll definitely leave the cinema eager to discuss it with your friends: “What the fuck just happened?”
