Synopsis:

Ish and Oz are best friends and roommates with big dreams of starting their own hip-hop band. The two eccentric slackers make a pact to avoid the dreaded nine-to-five at all costs but come to realize that sooner or later everyone has to get a job!



Men Without Jobs is a universal story about a couple of charming and talented misfits who, in the name of rebellion, eschew the conventional responsibilities and obligations of adulthood in favor of a carefree extended adolescence. Ish and Oz convince themselves they are living life on their own terms but realize that's not necessarily what living is all about. The story speaks to the creative spirit in all of us that longs to break out.
