DARK COMEDY

LIFE IS NO JOKE

Life is No Joke tells the story of Erwin, a court jester in the Middle Ages who is about to perform in front of his majesty. Here a bad performance usually is paid with the Buffoon’s life and things don't look good for Erwin as, right before his act, he has an existential crisis: he doesn't find anything funny anymore.

Shot on 35mm film on location in Castello di Amorosa, Napa Valley, California.

Directed by Yair Shvartz. Starring Napoleon Ryan and Maile Flanagan.
