SYNOPSIS: Jannis, a cute gay post-adolescent, and his adorable mute boyfriend, Patrick, infiltrate a circus to shoot an undercover documentary exposing an underground political conspiracy responsible for a recent spate of assassination attempts.  But when Patrick meets Mo, a young woman whose sensitivity to sunlight forces her to live by night, Jannis' jealousy threatens the entire project.  Only Patrick's unwavering devotion to the boy he loves will help save the day and reveal the truth of who is behind the conspiracy.

Set in the not so distant future, Whispering Moon is visually stunning like nothing seen before it.  Blending media, narratives and skin to tell an enticing story about storytelling the film uses cutting edge techniques to move the plot along.  As we see the story unfold, Jannis, the storyteller, interacts with the characters and their environments, creating an eye-catching visual landscape that challenges the audience even as it entertains.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Whispering Moon is a quirky film with quirky characters that bring you on a quirky journey!  The story is full of weird twists and just when you think the script is going one way, the plot thickens and sends you in another direction.  The whole story surrounds Jannis and his quest to uncover the truth about some mysterious deaths, crooked politicians, and poisonous frogs.  Jannis' mute friend Patrick (unable to speak since early childhood), is helping out by using his connections within the local television media; Patrick's mother is an investigative journalist.  Complicating things slightly for young Jannis is his inability to get inside Patrick's pants.  This complication eventually becomes a sub-plot, so at the risk of spoiling the end...we'll leave it at that!  Whispering Moon is a very creative way to tell a story...(ahh, those Germans)!
