Lola's Rainbow

Lola's Rainbow is a film about the mundanity of life. It's about feeling trapped in the everyday cycle of repetition.

Dreaming of chasing the rainbow and actually doing it are two different things. Most of us give up and accept that life doesn't get better than the cycle that we find ourselves in. EAT. SLEEP. WORK. REPEAT.
