Who’s to say who deserves $32,000 and who doesn’t? In Eggersian fashion, You Shall Know Our Velocity! struggles with this and other existential questions as it follows two childhood friends who travel the world in seven days and try to give away the exorbitant amount of money that one of them has earned from taking a picture of a lightbulb.
Sit back, relax, and let the characters do all the stressing out while they think of ways to get rid of money in an effort to restore faith in humanity: efforts that are as diverse as tying a paper pouch that reads “HERE I AM ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE” to a donkey and creating a treasure map for Estonian children.
