A television documentary is explaining a play about a desert town where junior astronomers and a grieving father are quarantined after something lands. Anderson stacks the frames: the broadcast, the stage, the town that looks like a postcard. Jason Schwartzman plays the father and the actor who cannot feel the part. Scarlett Johansson is the movie star in the cabin next door. The Focus trailer is the mushroom cloud of a test and the vending machine. The subject is how to act grief.
