24-year-old Abraham Evans is anxious to define himself once and for all as an aduilt, as a man. To this end, he has designed his own personal rite of passage, a complex ritual culminating in a (gulp) circumcision.
"We wanted to make a comedy about the lack of meaningful tradition in modern world. Abe is a young man in search of his personal and cultural identity - a quest that many people, particulary in Canada, can relate to" (Aubrey Nealon).
