No power. No internet. No one is safe. The Apocalypse is here. And everyone’s fate depends on three heroic clowns: Bobo, Pepe, and Funzo. They join their forces after spending a night in jail, and emerge to find a country suddenly plunged into overnight anarchy. Yes, hobo clown Bobo has hit rock bottom and still grieves a breakup; Pepe might be an incredibly talentless mime, and Fonzo is inadvertently depressed, deranged, and terrifying, but they nevertheless see a chance to follow their dreams in a world of chaos, with a showstopping clown trick needed to save the day. First feature of George Kane written by the members of Irish musical comedy band Dead Cat Bounce is an anarchic, raucous comedy about creative differences and reignited careers.

This film is screened with the kind contribution of the Embassy of Ireland.
