“A new American film”

ComedyDrama

New York layabout Willie forms an unexpected bond with his young Hungarian cousin Eva when she pays him a surprise visit. Later, Eva moves in with their aunt in Cleveland, and Willie takes his best friend Eddie to see her—a visit that culminates in a strange, eventful trip to Florida.

VIBE

A hazy, detached journey through a dreamlike America. It’s cool, bleak, and funny in its own way, capturing a sense of aimless wandering and quiet melancholy. The black and white visuals and sparse soundtrack create a uniquely hypnotic feel.
