Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Absurd slapstick cartoon-like comedy about Howie, a scrawny kid pushed around by his slob dad and everyone else. He loves cinema and becomes obsessed with a gangster film. This pushes him over the edge into the life of crime. Or does it?

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
