Comedy, 85 Minutes
Followed by a Yaniv Cardgame Social and Q&A with director and actors
A high school teacher in the Bronx loses funding for the school musical and convinces his fellow teacher—secretly
a recovering gambling addict—to help him cheat at an underground card game called Yaniv run by the Hasidic Jewish community. The plan goes awry with mounting consequences, but help comes at an unexpected time from the least likely people. YANIV is a madcap and absurd comedy that unpacks Jewish identity, male friendship, and public education, all in one lighthearted package.
