Frank is finally gonna come out of this rut- He vows he'll find love, become a famous comedian, and responsibly care for his plants. But then his childhood friend Giorgio gets hit by a bus. Self-assured and utterly entitled, Giorgio has always seemed like the better of the pair. Frank moves in with his estranged childhood friend and quickly starts to chip away at Frank’s sense of self, as well as Giogio’s carefully curated online persona. Expectation and reality soon collide in a singular tale about trust and confidence. The Con Artists is a stylish character study that asks the question of who fools who once everyone is off-camera.
