Synopsis
"Anna (Lily Carter) and Jacky (Lily LaBeau) were best friends in high school in Tucson, Arizona, but they haven't seen each other in five years.. Anna is shy, awkward and withdrawn, while Jacky is outgoing, hedonistic, but restless. The two formed an unlikely friendship because they both felt different, but it was this feeling that tore them apart when Jacky moved to Los Angeles. Anna travels by bus to Los Angeles to visit her for a day and the two spend the day together. The two head to a nightclub later that night where Jacky has sex with a man in a bathroom, which Anna witnesses. Later, Jacky jerks off to a random man in an alley..."

The film is a work of art that follows in the footsteps of psychological and erotic cinema. Graham Travis, the director, creates a highly worked visual universe that immerses us in Anna's world. The cold and dark colors create a dramatic atmosphere that highlights the loneliness and hopelessness of the characters.
The narrative is another of the great assets of "Wasteland". While most adult movies focus on sex and fantasies, "Wasteland" delves into the psychology of the characters and their personal relationships. The film delves into such complex themes as loneliness, betrayal and loss, which gives it a depth that is not usually found in this type of cinema.
Since its release, "Wasteland" has become a cult film and has received several awards at adult film festivals. The film took home the Best Picture award at the AVN Awards, the equivalent of the Oscars for the adult industry.
But it was not only in the adult industry that "Wasteland" was successful. Su narrative and its visual style caught the attention of critics in general and the film was presented at several independent film festivals, like the Sundance Film Festival, something unusual for a film of this genre.
In summary, "Wasteland" is a film that breaks with the stereotypes of the adult industry and opens up to a wider audience thanks to its narrative depth and impressive visual style. It is a work of art that deserves to be seen and appreciated for its artistic-cultural impact on the film industry in general.
