World Premiere and Winner of the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.
“It’s a delight and a revelation — a deft, funny, heady, beautifully staged ramble of a road movie”
