A cerebral, deliberately provocative documentary that wrestles with the ethics of dark humor as a coping mechanism and social commentary in the shadow of historical atrocity.

Feature documentary about humor and the Holocaust, examining whether it is ever acceptable to use humor in connection with a tragedy of that scale, and the implications for other seemingly off-limits topics in a society that prizes free speech.
