The city is Los Angeles in the very recent past. The Informers' chronicles the lives of a group of people fusing their voices into an intense, impressionistic narrative that spans and blurs genders, generations and even identities - all of them suffering from nothing less than the death of the soul.
A well-observed and bleakly funny indictment of a culture saturated with money, cars and drugs, where the nearest thing to spiritual values are health food and good looks.
