Frank

Synopsis

'Frank' is a black comedy about a man who just doesn't fit in. He's fallen between the cracks he is always trying to avoid. We join him on his personal journey to hell and back, accompanied by a neurotic and opinionated couple of corpses and the map reader of his life and only friend, a young girl called Sasha.
