In the midst of the harsh Californian desert and on the shores of a toxic lake lies a land that time forgot: Bombay Beach. This once abandoned town is now home to a small eclectic community where art heals people in the most unexpected ways. A British matriarch, a retired bank robber, an evicted artist from Los Angeles and an Italian prince open the doors to a magical land, a living theater, perhaps a way to an alternative life.
Sulle rive di un lago tossico, nell’aspro deserto della California, c’è un luogo dimenticato dal tempo: Bombay Beach. In questa terra desolata è nata una comunità dove l'arte riesce, nei modi più inaspettati, a guarire gli animi. Una matriarca britannica, un rapinatore di banche in pensione, un artista in fuga da Los Angeles e un principe italiano ci aprono le porte di un luogo magico, forse una via per una vita diversa.
