Solomon Kugel is a neurotic salesman who has just moved his family to a quiet farmhouse to escape the stress of city life. Kugel is consumed by thoughts of death and obsessed with finding the perfect "last words" to utter before death and the perfect epithet to put on his tombstone. But Kugel doesn't find rural life less stressful. One sleepless night, he investigates a strange sound and makes a discovery in his attic that will change his life forever. Often irreverent, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny and even sad in parts, "Hope: A Tragedy" is more about how we live our life than about how we prepare to die. Kugel just needs to figure that out.
