Signs<\/strong> <\/em>is a surrealistic comedy about love, purpose and the little things that seem to matter so much to us. April reads horoscopes. Lydia writes horoscopes. April reads them devoutly, using them to guide her life choices. Lydia just makes them up, using the money she makes from them to support herself while she completes her novel.\u00a0Signs<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>follows the story of April who writes metaphors for a living \u2014 whenever an author is having trouble thinking of a creative, evocative metaphor, the metaphor is outsourced to her. One day, April discovers the \u201cperfect metaphor\u201d \u2014 a marvelous yet dangerous creation, a comparison so perfect that it renders other forms of communication meaningless. Eventually, April comes in contact with Lydia, an all-too-familiar force who has been transcribing April\u2019s fate through her horoscopes all along. After Lydia and April meet, the story turns upside down.<\/p>\n
