After some surfing and some dancing, the kids stroll off for some romance in a cave the locals call “Makeout Cave.” Sure it’s a nice place to neck with your sweetheart, but if you venture a little deeper you might discover the secret of Makeout Cave: a trap laden path that leads to chambers hidden by an eccentric millionaire to guard a secret so wonderful and terrifying, it’ll change you forever.

It’s a warm Summer day somewhere in Maine and three teams of documentarians have gathered to capture the elaborate mating ritual of the rare and mis-named Golden Duck. The bird, which is neither entirely gold-colored nor a duck, has one shot in its lonely life to find a mate, giving the gathered camera crews one chance to capture the waterfowl in action. As an enthusiastic Youtuber, a cheesy hunting reality show, and a prestigious nature series flock to the pond’s edge, we see how the footage they captured tells their stories just as much as duck’s…I mean goose’s?

Dinner has just wrapped up and while other family members split off to clean up, play in the backyard, and sit and digest, Kira, a teenage film buff, listens to her eccentric Aunt Lindsey as she describes a film she acted in as a young woman.

As Lindsey winds (and wines) her way through the messy b-movie’s plot, Kira learns that her Aunt is more than just a background player…she’s an Extra.Poster by Andreas Aristides
