Trailer for I Believe in Unicorns.
Having grown up quickly as the sole caretaker of her disabled mother, teenage Davina (Natalia Dyer) escapes often into a beautifully twisted fantasy life of underwater fireworks, melting cupcakes and kodachrome dreams. She collects dolls in glass jars, scratches the emulsion off polaroids, and holds her breath constantly. Davina looks for salvation in a new relationship with an older boy, Sterling (Peter Vack), but soon the disturbing details of his past begin to emerge through the ways he treats her. Combining archival footage with stylized live action and stop motion animation, I Believe in Unicorns takes us on a road trip through the stunning and complex landscape of troubled young love.
