Recipient of the NYU Sloan prize for the screenplay of To Dust, Shawn Snyder tries to find emotion in science in his debut feature film. Shmuel (Son of Saul's Géza Röhrig) is still mourning the loss of his wife and often has night terrors. He is convinced that knowing what will happen to her body, from a biology point of view, is the only way to move on - even if that means going against his Hasidic beliefs. At a nearby community college, he meets a science professor, Albert (Matthew Broderick), who is willing to explain the decay process. Still not satisfied, Shmuel wants to take it to the next level with an experiment. Albert, though reluctant at first, ends up joining Shmuel on his quest for answers, and the unlikely pair embarks on more than questionable practices. This charming, odd buddy comedy touches on grief, science, and religious traditions with a moving yet dark comedic tone.
