The big white

A quirky, black comedy about Paul Barnell, a nearly bankrupt Alaskan travel agent whose wife, Margaret, is on the brink of insanity. When he finds a frozen body in the dumpster behind his office, Paul thinks this is answer to his financial problems. He tries to pass the body off as his long-lost brother Raymond to collect on the insurance money. Unfortunately, investigator Ted Watters isn't about to let Barnell walk away with a million bucks. Adding to Paul's avalanche of problems are two aspiring hit-men-turned-kidnappers and the stunning return of the supposedly dead Raymond, who now has an ax to grind with his brother.

  • "Paul Barnell, titolare di una piccola compagnia di viaggi sull'orlo della bancarotta e sposato con Margaret, affetta dalla sindrome di Tourette e da vari disturbi neurologici, ha un disperato bisogno di denaro per salvare la propria attività e per garantire alla moglie le cure necessarie. L'unico modo per ottenere il denaro necessario, è quello di riscuotere una polizza assicurativa di un milione di dollari intestata a suo fratello Raymond, scomparso ormai da cinque anni. Ma il tempo trascorso non è sufficiente per dichiarare la morte ufficiale di Raymond. Un giorno Paul trova per caso un cadavere e dopo averlo reso irriconoscibile lo spaccia per suo fratello ottenendo così il diritto a riscuotere la polizza di cui è beneficiario. Tutto sembra andare per il meglio quando uno scrupoloso perito assicurativo a caccia di promozioni e una coppia di imbranati killer decideranno di mettersi sulla sua strada. (Mymovies)."

  • "An Alaska-set black comedy, which sees a penniless travel agent faking his missing brother's death for the insurance money. Life isn't easy for travel agent Paul Barnell (Robin Williams) who's stuck in a dead-end job, can barely make ends meet and whose wife Margaret (Holly Hunter) is slightly deranged. Salvation comes in the form of a frozen corpse, which he finds by accident in a rubbish tip behind his office. Suddenly, Paul has an epiphany: if he can convince the authorities that the stiff is that of his missing brother Raymond (Woody Harrelson), he could cash in on his substantial life insurance policy. But Paul doesn't count on being pursued by two would-be gangsters, a determined insurance investigator or an irate brother who's very much still alive!"@en
