Saints on King Street is a sprawling, gritty, and surreal drama that weaves together multiple storylines of outcasts, broken families, corrupt systems, and unlikely moments of grace. Mixing raw realism with dreamlike fantasy, the film presents a fractured but deeply human vision of a community struggling with pain, faith, and survival. The script blends gritty realism with surreal flourishes-violent hallucinatory montages, dark humor, poetic dialogue, and sudden bursts of tenderness. Influences range from indie dramas and social critiques to music-driven montages
