Contemplative where it counts, darkly funny underneath

The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than OMG: Oh My God! does

A reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality, guided by a Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments have the same significance as historical events. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.

Both lean on play more than on drama

Comedy with a pulse of dark humor, in both cases

In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew.
