Summary
Joseph and Sonya share a close friendship and their young son Pino whom they are raising together. While Joseph is working on a new film idea and tries to deal with the breakup from his ex boyfriend, Sonya is suffering from a depression that is increasingly uprooting her from her life. When she is placed in a clinic, Joseph attempts to juggle both his daily life as a father along with his artistic ambitions.
Writer-director Stumm’s second feature after his debut "Bones and Names" mixes different keys to create a cinematic friction with reality. "Sad Jokes" is absurd and banal, but also hopeful and touching, or – just like in real life – everything at once.
