It’s a great day to be alive.

ComedyDrama

Val has reached a place where he feels the only way out is to end things. But he considers himself a bit of a failure—his effectiveness lacking—so he figures he could use some help. As luck would have it, Val’s best friend, Kevin, is recovering from a failed suicide attempt, so he seems like the perfect partner for executing this double suicide plan. But before they go, they have some unfinished business to attend to.

VIBE

A raw, darkly funny dive into despair and the unexpected bonds that can pull us back from the brink. It’s a cathartic, unflinching look at friendship and the struggle to find a reason to keep going, even when things feel hopeless.
