Be Cool

• Comedy
• Crime

A wry and unexpectedly tender comedy unfolds as a seasoned movie fixer, accustomed to navigating the volatile world of film production, abruptly pivots to the even stranger landscape of the music industry. Unlike typical fish-out-of-water stories, this transition isn’t about ambition, but a reluctant search for something genuinely connecting after years of transactional relationships. He finds it in an unlikely romance with a capable, self-possessed widow who’s inherited her late husband’s record label, forcing him to confront his own emotionally guarded nature. The film's humor isn't reliant on slapstick, but rather a cynical wit and brilliantly awkward encounters amongst colorful characters – from a washed-up rock star to unsettling figures from the Russian mafia – creating a playfully tense atmosphere where genuine affection blossoms amid absurd circumstances. It’s a refreshing take on the crime comedy, centered on finding unconventional connection rather than high-stakes heists.
