Ben (Matthew Broderick) failed children`s folk singer and less-than-extraordinary weekend dad. Ben gets pleasure from smoking weed and playing chess with his Senegalese roommate, Ibou. When Ibou suddenly falls ill, Ben`s pessimistic worldview seems unequivocally confirmed. But when Ibou`s sister takes his place in their apartment, what starts as an awkward living arrangement becomes something Ben did not expect... (official distributor synopsis)
