Winner of the Audience Award at the Morelia International Film Festival, Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus is set for an international theatrical tour.

The feature documentary is an intimate film in the vein of Searching for Sugarman, which solves a musical mystery while taking the viewer on a rollercoaster ride through the life of enigmatic singer Diane Luckey, aka Q Lazzarus.

Discovered by Jonathan Demme in 1987 during a fateful cab ride, Q had a moment of fame after her cult hit song “Goodbye Horses” was featured in The Silence of the Lambs. But while Q had a following in the New York and London club scenes, she was unable to get a record deal and completely vanished from the public eye in 1995.

Not even her friends and bandmates knew what had happened to her, that is until another fateful car ride 25 years later brought her together with filmmaker and fan Eva Aridjis-Fuentes. Q entrusted Eva with the incredible story of her life, told in the film for the very first time through Q’s own words and music, and through dozens of never-before heard songs.

“Betrayal spawns an unexpected night through the streets of Tokyo for two strangers left questioning the meaning of life and love,” says the film’s logline.

The film is set for release on digital and VOD on February 14th.

The film tells the story of Sam, who arrives in Tokyo to visit his expat girlfriend Becca — only to be broken up with as soon as he arrives at her apartment. Left wandering around Tokyo alone, he decides to return to the U.S. the next day. Stuck for the night awaiting his new flight, he makes an unlikely friend in Ayaka, who reluctantly takes him out with her friends.

As Sam and Ayaka both struggle to communicate due to their language barrier, trust and reliance in each other become imminent when betrayal sends their worlds crashing down. As the pair venture through the mesmerizing streets of Tokyo together, they must not only overcome obstacles to understand each other, but also break down their own walls to understand themselves.
