Synopsis:

“Who’s bigger? Mr. Bigger, or Mr. Bigger’s baby? “Mr. Bigger’s baby is a little bigger.” The Cohen family tell each other jokes, rehash past history, and desperately try to stay intact as their elderly father struggles for his life amid the baffling bureaucracy of a modern hospital. Will he survive? Will his family?

Mr. Bigger’s Baby is a hilariously harrowing and very human look at how we cope with mortality … and our closest relatives.
