No Fucking Ice Cream

In the fall of 2005, three teenagers say their good-byes to their father. Two days later, he is executed by the State of Texas. Ronald Howard Sr. had seen his children Tikeira, JaBoria and Ronald Jr. grow up from behind bullet-proof glass. As an 18-year-old, he had been convicted after fatally shooting a police officer. Ten years after the execution of the death sentence, NO FUCKING ICE CREAM explores what traces the father's death has left in the lives of his children, now young adults. All three are determined to take their fate into their own hands – but they keep suffering setbacks that seem predetermined by their traumatic family history. NO FUCKING ICECREAM is a tender film about loss and pain, about gangs and drugs, about love and guilt, hope, and vicious circles. And it is, last but not least, a film about systemic racism in America today.
