A claustrophobic, anxious character study of a failed musician teaching fifth grade, oscillating between absurdist comedy and existential dread as he searches for meaning in a life that feels fundamentally wrong.

With better luck, better choices, better posture... Josh Corman could’ve been a rock star. Now he teaches fifth grade, and though he loves his students, he still struggles to find happiness and meaning in a world that sometimes feels short on both.
