Cassandra is beautiful, funny and lonely. On her birthday, she wants to be beautiful, funny and popular. So begins a desperate hunt for party guests, from the staff at the corner store to strangers on the street. Black humour and poetry combine in a festive tragedy as people clash and make love. Step one – Balloons.
