Synopsis: Polish Bar is a story of faith, loyalty and family. Reuben is a young, middle-class Jew who is fed up with the family jewelry business. He looks for respect by trying to prove himself as a Hip Hop DJ and working for Polish criminals at the local strip club. In a world of sex, cocaine and violence he encounters Ebony, a young black girl who clashes with Reuben’s tough guy front. But when Moises, his Orthodox cousin arrives, he causes Reuben to question his own actions and beliefs. Family, greed, and faith conspire against him as he struggles with the ludicrous underbelly of Chicago and his desire to make a name for himself.
