“One path to happiness is to enjoy sadness.”

| Benjamin (Simon Amstell [L] and Phénix Brossard [R]) |
Benjamin (filmmaker Simon Amstell, pictured left) is his own greatest obstacle to success, personally and professionally. He is deathly afraid that his second film won’t live up to the success of his first film, so he buries himself in esoteric philosophical YouTube videos from a Buddhist monk. He bounces from one twink boyfriend to another, sabotaging anything that even hints at becoming a serious relationship. We in the audience bounce from laughing with him to laughing at him and back, with no small amount of cringing at Benjamin (and others) sticking his foot in his mouth well past his knee, but we are consistently laughing. Definitely a MUST SEE.
