Details

In a dark comedy about the end of the world as we know it, two troubled and immensely likable teens face the ultimate career choice: “Should I go to college or destroy the universe?”  With an enormous invisible dog, a death-metal soundtrack, and some truly cosmic questions, BIG DEATH & LITTLE DEATH skewers suburbia and our belief that everything is going to turn out all right.
