Winner of a Special Jury prize for “Best Ensemble Cast” at Sundance this year, Choke looks to be this Summers break out sleeper. Choke tells the story of a sex addict and colonial theme park worker, Victor Mancini, who has devised a complicated scam to pay for his mom’s hospital bills while she suffers from an Alzheimer’s disease that hides the truth about his childhood. He pretends to choke on food in a restaurant and the person who “saves” him will feel responsible for Victor for the rest of their lives. When he’s not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, and succeeds.
