Book of Danny (2002)

Set in Washington, D.C., BOOK OF DANNY is the comic, often poignant story of teen stoner, Danny Dubnow, and his desperate attempts at forging a relationship with his deadbeat dad, Harry, who is otherwise preoccupied with entrepreneurial dreams of grandeur in the form of a leather manufacturing business. The film opens a window onto a side of D.C. life which exists outside the familiar marble corridors of political power -- a world in which divorce, catering, lower-middle class Jews, Congressional Interns, and imported leather all make uneasy bedfellows.
