A high school teacher in the Bronx attempts to fund the school musical by winning at Yaniv, an underground card game run by the Hasidic Jewish community. The plan goes awry in this madcap comedy that unpacks Jewish identity, male friendship, and public education in one lighthearted package.

PLUS!! After the screening, join us for the YANIV CLUB. Amnon Carmi, who co-wrote, produced, and acted in the movie, travels from NYC to teach us how to play the game of Yaniv.
