Close friends Joseph and Sonya have a young son called Pino whom they are bringing up together. Joseph is working on the idea for a new film and trying to come to terms with the separation from his boyfriend Marc. As Sonya’s depression wreaks ever increasing havoc on her life, Joseph grapples with the challenges of holding it all together. Its combination of everyday scenes, unpredictable humour and raw emotion makes Sad Jokes "absolutely fantastic” (taz) and "a major achievement” (Knut Elstermann, radioeins)
