Cheatin'

Plympton's Twisted Toons • 1h 16m

Directed by Bill Plympton | 77 mins | 2013
A lurid film noir opera that eschews intelligible dialogue, "Cheatin’" follows a couple, Jake and Ella, from the first blush of attraction at a carnival meet-cute to the cusp of marital disintegration.

“My second non-dialogue film and I believe it's my most powerful. Inspired by a very tragic relationship I had 20 years ago.” —Bill Plympton
