Yaniv!

Comedy-drama about a Bronx high school teacher who needs to raise $10,000 for his school’s production of Little Shop of Horrors. He teams up with his colleague Jonah, a former gambling addict, to play Yaniv, an Israeli card game, at an underground club in Regal Park. Hosted by Mendy, Orthodox men bet big on “the blackjack of the Jewish people,” taking the game very seriously.
