"Killing and Dying": A married couple take opposing stances to their daughter Jesse's desire to become a stand-up comedian. "Intruders": A man gets a set of keys to his old apartment and starts regularly breaking and entering.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })"Amber Sweet" and "Killing and Dying", along with "Hawaiian Getaway" from Tomine's earlier work Summer Blonde, inspired the 2021 film Paris, 13th District. | |
