Choke (2008)

Drowning in the throes of a potent sex addiction, Victor Mancini, a med-school dropout, finds himself juggling the demands of his increasingly unstable mother, Ida, who is locked within the sterile confines of a costly private hospital. Struggling to keep the financial wheels turning, Victor spends his daylight hours donned in period costume as a historical re-enactor in a Colonial Williamsburg theme park. However, it's his nocturnal exploits that weave a truly bizarre tapestry. Using upscale restaurants as his hunting ground, Victor stages elaborate choking scenes, manipulating the benevolence of wealthy patrons who rush to his aid, and thereafter feel obliged to support him financially. As Ida battles the foggy abyss of Alzheimer's, she intermittently surfaces with fragments of a shocking secret - the concealed truth of Victor's father's identity. Fearful of losing this vital piece of his past to his mother's crumbling memory, Victor allies himself with his best friend, Denny, and the captivating Dr. Paige Marshall, Ida's attending physician. Together, they plunge into a mystery that threatens to shatter Victor's world, as the potential divine origins of his parentage teeter on the brink of being lost forever. Victor's life - a twisted carnival of scams, secrets, and sexual compulsion - draws you into a darkly comedic exploration of human vulnerabilities and the peculiar ties that bind us to one another.
