Off-beat dramedy in which slapstick and social tensions go hand-in-hand, revolving around a middle-aged man whose rural life is turned upside down when two urbanites move to his quiet village. A low-key charmer from the director of Journey of the Tortoise (CJ 2017) that becomes more unconventional and unexpected with every passing minute.

Komisch drama waarin slapstick en sociale spanningen hand in hand gaan. Middelpunt van het verhaal is een man van middelbare leeftijd wiens leven op het platteland op zijn kop wordt gezet wanneer twee stedelingen hun intrek nemen in zijn rustige dorp. Een ingehouden en charmante film die met de minuut onconventioneler en verrassender wordt. Van de regisseur van Journey of the Tortoise (CJ 2017).

As usual we will kick off the evening at 19:00 with a vegan meal of Japanese curry, dessert, and a complimentary drink before the film screening at 20:00.
