‘Yolandaland’ is a thrift-store rags-to-riches story about a miserable old widower who wins a three billion dollars in the lottery and purchases an abandoned Ojibwe reservation in Northern Minnesota where he intends to build a private shrine to his late wife Yolanda; instead, he encounters a flamboyant and eccentric crew of local yokels, internet influencers, Interpol fugitives and old-school hellions drawn like moths to flame, each with their own hairbrained get-rich-quick scheme.

The story centers around Johanna, the granddaughter of the last chief of the tribe, Tagg, her childhood friend who wants to film a documentary about the events and especially, Bon-Bon, Tagg’s bombastic, airheaded, hilarious girlfriend, who is a wildly popular internet influencer.

Accompanying the widower to the reservation is Sugarbeet, a Russian ex-pat and former badass, take-no-prisoners female Marine, who has taken on a Miss-Daisy caretaker role. Home base for this crew is a boarding house and UFO museum on the outskirts of the reservation run by conspiracy-nut Jetson Gretch and his mother Pookie, who believes that she is the rightful heir to the reservation.

‘Yolandaland’ is colorful and ultra-modern mash-up of ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’ meets ‘Northern Exposure,’ only funnier and more surreal than either one. It’s targeted at young, literary adults who want to see their own crazy zeitgeist disarticulated, teased, and ultimately celebrated.
