Featuring a cast that includes Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, Mike Watt of the legendary hardcore band Minutemen, and Pettibon himself, this deadpan narrative pays dubious homage to the 1960's radical underground. In this crudely rendered home video of a commune of stoned revolutionaries, the cameras are hand-held, the edits in-camera, and the dialogue is wryly on-target. Pettibon's band of outsiders reenacts a countercultural moment defined by rock music, drugs, and ideological paradox — and in so doing, captures their own late-80's West Coast grunge milieu as well.

Women and their children disappeared without a trace in a mountain near Rome. The case remains unsolved and therefore becomes a myth and the film sets out to discover what this and a myth actually is, namely an expression of past history in time and space. We see like in a very old play the appearance of the actors playing the myth, who become more and more intensely mythical themselves. They speak up and yet suffer, they are just playing and yet they are guilty. The narrator, the choir, the revenge, the madness, the love, the death. This is what Blue is made of!
