Description
“A fun and funny thriller with a lot of heart.” (Film Threat)
When their high school drama department falls victim to budget cuts, two teachers from the Bronx find an unlikely solution to their money problems: “yaniv,” a little-known card game with a thriving underground gambling scene in the Hasidic community. With their spring production of Little Shop of Horrors in jeopardy, the two friends have no choice but to bet the house to save the show, embedding themselves with their ultra-Orthodox hosts in the process. This riotous comedy introduces us to the unique world of yaniv and the wild assortment of characters that populate it, including such standouts as MC Mendy portrayed by Adam B. Shapiro (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel).
