The Heart of the World

A silent-movie pastiche where a ticking geologic time bomb sets two brothers vying for the same woman against each other. The mortician and the Christ impersonator sprint through cardboard sets to outbid each other for a geologist’s affection. The only thing more dramatic than the looming apocalypse is the brothers’ hair.
