KISS ME SOMEWHERE ELSE
When under 3-feet tall Teena, meets almost 12-feet tall Eddie, loves seems impossible yet inevitable. And when Teena’s agelessly old mother tries to force Eddie’s agelessly old father, to keep their adult children apart, the opposite happens -to all of them. Hearts and minds and body parts transform.
