A darkly comedic exploration of midlife ennui. Paxton, an unfulfilled stay-at-home dad, abandons his wife and kids to embark on an undefined period of self-exploration. Lacking the funds for his escape, he persuades his wealthy but aimless and perpetually single friend, Matthew, to bankroll a trip to Berlin by promising to get him laid. What starts as a misguided boys’ trip evolves into an unexpected journey of reckoning and self-discovery.
