What is a clown to do after forty years of failure?

Follow Roman on the night that he embarks on a desperate mission to save his dying mother’s life.

This is a wry comedy about Art, a frustrated musician undergoing what he sees as a quarter-life crisis. This is not helped when his girlfriend dumps him and he has to move back in with his middle-class parents, who are far from thrilled with the idea. Art’s painfully funny journey to define his existence brings to the fore the dysfunctional relationship he has with his parents and the importance in his life of his oddball friends. Rich in detail and dark yet affectionate humor, this film is a timely look at the increasingly common phenomena of grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity and self-help.

The film reflects on the irony of idol worship.
