Escape from Tomorrow
In a world of fake castles and anthropomorphic rodents, an epic battle begins when a middle-aged American husband and father of two learns that he has lost his job. And their family vacation at Disney World quickly unravels into a surrealist nightmare of paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy teenage Parisians.
