Lowlands is an episodic exploration into the nebulous metropolis of Los Angeles. Follow wandering Angelenos through the endless landscape as an immodest writer takes a long hike, a lost driver desperately searches for the hospital, a philosopher hunts for the best Chinese food, a couch-surfer goes on a midnight joyride, and several others drift and drop through the city's corridors. In this fragmented walkabout everyone's searching for the ever-elusive center of their city - what they actually find is never the same.
