Jimmy Carlsson: En Magisk Afton - DVD

An aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he slogs through the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement and the possibility of rekindling a relationship with his daughter, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.

Les Franken (Michael Rapaport) is a kind-hearted and soft-spoken man who loves reading comic books. He's the type of guy who most people walk by on the street without even noticing; in essence, he's completely average and virtually invisible. However, everything changes for Les the day he is accepted into an experimental drug study. As he begins to take the drugs, an unexpected side effect occurs - he develops special powers. In an effort to use his new talents for protecting others, Les finds himself in a predicament to save himself.

From the time Ryan was just a boy, he has had only one dream - to become an artist. But his cowboy father thinks art is a joke, while an Indian family across the street believes art is Ryan's destiny. He struggles to find his voice as an artist, while getting rejected by gallery after gallery in his attempts at securing an exhibit of his work. Priya, the exotic Indian girl across the street, seems to believe in his talent and Ram, Priya's Dad, might have the answers to Ryan's karma. Or does he? Ryan's older brother John, the dysfunctional screw up, ironically could hold the key. Cultures clash humorously when Ram discovers his beloved daughter has fallen in love with the struggling artist, setting off a dramatic confrontation that leaves all relationships at risk. Will Ryan achieve his dream? Will he get the girl? It is all up to Karma...
