    Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same

    Madeleine OLNEK 2011 USA Fiction b/w & color 76min English HDCam
    Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same tracks the adventures, misadventures and experiences of three aliens from the planet Zots, sent down to Earth on a mission to rid themselves of romantic emotions, which are considered toxic to their planet's atmosphere. They are told to have their hearts broken on Earth, where such heartbreak is considered a given. Two of the aliens, Zylar and Barr fall into an unfortunate romance with each other, but Zoinx, the third, meets Jane, an Earthling of mild manners who lives an uneventful life and works in a stationery store. Meanwhile, two undercover government agents are following Jane in order to find the spaceship and cover up the existence of the aliens.
