Dark Horse
Directed by Todd Solondz
Produced by Double Hope Films
A darkly comic portrait of two thirty-something misfits whose desperate marriage becomes a vehicle for examining failure, arrested development, and the gap between aspiration and reality.
Abe is a man who is in his thirties and who lives with his parents. He works regretfully for his father while pursuing his hobby of collecting toys. Aware that his family doesn't think highly of him, he tries to spark a relationship with Miranda, who recently moved back home after a failed literary/academic career. Miranda agrees to marry Abe out of desperation, but things go awry.
