Following a tragic accident, a put-upon single father, whose dreams of literary fame have come to naught, finds his fortunes taking a turn for the (seemingly) better, when his students and fellow teachers suddenly see him in a new light – though his new found popularity soon begins to weigh upon him, in Goldthwait’s cynically and blackly comic yet insightful and strangely moving little film.
