Angst looks at the lives of three Jewish comedians (Deb Filler, Sandy Gutman, and Moshe Waldoks) whose parents are concentration camp survivors, focusing on the effect of this familial legacy upon their lives and their particular brands of humor. The film includes interviews, glimpses into the subjects’ personal lives and excerpts from stage performances. These elements are interwoven with commentaries by experts in Jewish humor, as well as psychologists who specialize in treating the syndromes suffered by some children of survivors.
