Here is my pretentious film fest description:

"Wretch" is a psychedelic jaunt through the dateless days of a boy, as he quests to get back the love he once carelessly let perish in the swill of self-obsession. Long ago, the love between the boy and his girl created honey, and honey fed the bees. But when the dream died, the honey evaporated, leaving some very angry bees with a deep-pitted hunger to vanquish. When the boy falls victim to the onslaught of exhaustion in his lonesome and beaten-waltz back to her, the bees invent a seven-foot resurrection specialist made of sticks to charm the life back into the desperate hero, and to protect him along the journey to the late fashioned lover. Together, the demented insects and the boy travel to the lair where she is everything and all, expecting a climactic requiem. Unfortunately for all parties interested in love, there are some broken hearts that only pump the sharpened blood of apathy. Combining fantastic costume design, clever acting, bedroom hunted special effects, and one of the most effective sound schemes of our days, "Wretch" is the next step in the conglomeration of all things creative and twisted.

What's sad, is that everything in this actually makes sense. Everything in here is explainable. :D

What's sad, is that everything in this actually makes sense. Everything is represented, and this is how low points in life hit. Everything in here is explainable. :D
