Starring actor-musician Will Oldham and featuring music from Kimya Dawson and the Moldy Peaches (Juno), the Guatemalan Handshake begins in the confusion following a massive power outage in an unnamed corner of small-town America. Human doormat Donald Turnupseed (Oldham) suddenly vanishes, setting in motion a surreal series of events affecting his hapless father, his pregnant girlfriend, a pack of wild boy scouts, a lactose-intolerant roller rink employee, an elderly woman in search of her lost poodle, and his best friend: A ten-year-old girl named Turkeylegs. Narrated by young Turkeylegs as she pieces together Donald's puzzling disappearance, Rohal's rural tapestry explodes in unforgettable widescreen surprises.
