Summaries

An American businessman travels to Beijing in search of a gullible Chinese investor.

"GASP" is a fast-paced, tragicomic, pop art vision of fear trying to escape itself, and the self-fulfilling prophecies of people doing everything they can to "better their luck." In this philosophically slapstick ode to the 21st-century human psyche, the ultimate "slap sticks" -- the frying pans and brick walls smashing us in the face -- are our failure to recognize that society's standards of success might also be standards of insanity.—Anonymous
