In this unconventional dark comedy set against the backdrop of Chicago's indie stand-up scene, we follow a struggling comic who wakes up to an unexpected visitor: his ex-girlfriend, now pregnant and seeking help. As they navigate through the complexities of life, parenthood, and personal growth, the duo unravels the intricate web of excuses people use to avoid facing their responsibilities. The film, characterized by its raw, low-fi style, invites us into the intimate world of these characters as they stumble through a series of awkward and comedic encounters while ultimately grappling with the weighty matter of growing up. This unflinching exploration of human vulnerability serves as both a biting satire on modern adulthood and an empathetic portrayal of the trials of parenting.
