A trip in the orange groves.
Elmo is tasked with driving a lorry of fruit to central Australia and takes the farmer's daughter along for the ride. Drunk of an evening and hungover behind the wheel, he falls in love with Roberta, describing fever dreams of identical cloned girlfriends, chemical evenings battling murderous Chinese chefs, smashing neon fish tanks, and unhinged, chaotic circus acts to booming renditions of Tchaikovsky. The Orchard is for those who equal parts loved and loathed the unreliability of the morally corrupt Humbert Humbert, and who felt kinship with the wanderings of Sal Paradise.
