Join a young Spanish troubadour by the name of R — whose soon-to-expire visa is the least of his problems — as he roams the American frontier in search of love and his missing guitar. Along the way he is brutalized by aassorted post-punks and freak folks (or is that folk freaks?), kidnapped by ravers, and forced to sign a particular onerous contract by despicable industry types who plan to exploit his apparent naivité; finally young R is swept up into a Head-trip finale that makes Liquid Skylook like Romper Room. Now about that guitar....
