Born in 1944, Jeff B. Harmon worked for
twenty years as war correspondent. During this
time, he produced programs on the El Salvador
guerrilla, the Afghanistan invasion, and the
Iran-Iraq conflict. Weary of the hard reality of
war zones, he decided to write a theater play to
be staged in London. Later he saw the possibility
of transforming the play into a film as a
starting point to being a film director. In TV,
he worked for the BBC, Channel Four, and National
Geographic.

A
musical comedy that may be regarded as an amusing blend
of Rocky Horror Picture and The Wizard of Oz.
With color reminiscent of the classic musicals, in
distinct worlds: the small and conservative city of
Bumfunk and the exotic Island of Lesbos, a different
dimension in time and space where the lesbians command
the Universe. These two realities collide on the wedding
day of April, a young country girl who decides to flee
the altar and blow her brains out. When she pulls the
trigger, it will be sucked up by the mirror. She wakes up
in the midst of a pagan ceremony on the Island of Lesbos
and discovers a new and colorful world, where the only
representative of the male sex is responsible for the
housework at the site. Meanwhile, Bumfuck, April's
parents, seek assistance from Dr Sigmoid Colon, a
specialist in a cure for homossexualism.
