Synopsis: This metaphysical comedy stars Paul Giamatti as himself, stricken with anxiety and agonizing over his current status, until he comes across a New Yorker article that tells of a high-tech company that specializes in removing one's soul and then storing it in a deep freeze. When he realizes how empty he is without his soul, Giamatti goes on a search and rescue for it, taking him to St. Petersburg, Russia. The indie film premiered last January at the Sundance Film Festival, and will be released to limited theatres this August.
