Synopsis

Alexa, an eccentric heiress to a wind farm, goes on a quest to find a utopia city her father used to tell her about as a young girl. She believes the healers she finds there will be able to cure her of her mental illness. Sebastian, a skeptical windmill mechanic, accompanies Alexa at the insistence of her Aunt. Unbeknownst to them, her Aunt has plans to steal the farm while they are away. As they traverse unique lands and meet zany characters, Sebastian begins to believe in the utopic city, but it may all be another one of Alexa's delusions. Reminiscent of 'Don Quixote' and 'The Wizard of Oz', 'Tilting' takes a unique look at mental health and and what makes each of us delightfully "crazy".
