ComingSoon is excited to debut an exclusivetrailer for the upcoming digitally restored version of 2004’s black comedy movie starring Halo’s Pablo Schreiber in his first leading role.
“Kaz dreams of leaving his insular Polish immigrant community in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to pursue a brighter future in California with the love of his life, Eva,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “But his scheme to score some fast cash gets him in trouble with the local Russian mob boss, who threatens to kill his father if he can’t come up with the money to pay him back. With no other alternatives, Kaz hatches a novel plan to sell tickets to his own suicide in an attempt to save his father’s life; he’s surprised to find both the mobster and the neighborhood extremely supportive of the plan, not to mention his father. But even if he can sell the tickets, will he really go through with it? By the time this dark comedy reaches its surprising conclusion, Kaz learns that sometimes embracing death is the only way to a better life.”
