They're good boys with bad attitude!

CrimeDramaRomance

Dennis is a handsome and bookish college student. His brother, Bill, is a roughhewn ladies' man and thief. Together they search for their dad, confront their expectations of each other, themselves, and their attitudes towards women.

VIBE

A hazy, contemplative road trip through fractured masculinity and familial searching. It feels like a worn-out mixtape, full of quiet observations and unexpected detours into existential ennui. A mood piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
