When a giant pillar of salt crashes into the kitchen, a family is thrown into a chaotic, campy fantasy that forces them to reckon with their relationship to disobedience, suffering, and deviant sex. From her vantage point as the witness to past destruction, the Pillar of Salt wishes to upend the traditional center of our current order and force us to turn around and see the joy in the carnage.
