Yakov Ostovsky is on his deathbed and his plug will be pulled by the end of the evening. At least, that was the plan until Sergey 'Sam' Belyakova decided to pay a surprise visit. Armed with a flask and a healthy dose of imagination, Sam unleashes a string of hereto-untold stories in an effort to keep Yakov alive for another day. Featuring performances by Ken Davitian (Borat) and Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down), THE BALLERINO is a dark comedy that explores euthanasia through the eyes of a drunken, but well-meaning, fool.
