Kenny is an ice cream vendor in Chicago with a crisp white uniform and an apathetic heart. When he encounters Lolita, a sharp-tongued but despondent insurance actuary, their heated conversation, natural spark and mutual hopelessness lead to an unusual proposal for a meet-cute: to travel to San Francisco, where they will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge together.

VIBE

A darkly funny, yet deeply sad exploration of two lost souls finding solace in each other's despair. It's a quirky, unconventional romance that feels both tragic and strangely hopeful, set against a backdrop of urban ennui.
