2003100 min4.0 / 10

A deeply strange, unintentionally absurd melodrama about betrayal and trust that oscillates between sincere emotional devastation and bewildering tonal chaos.

Johnny is a successful banker with great respect for and dedication to the people in his life, especially his future wife Lisa. The happy-go-lucky guy sees his world being torn apart when his friends begin to betray him one-by-one.
