On his birthday, Schneider, a hitman, receives a contract to be honored: the execution of the writer Ramon Bax. Reluctant at first, Schneider accepts hoping he can get home early to help his wife with the preparation of the evening's festivities in his honor.
It's been nearly 30 years that the absurd and eccentric cinema of Alex van Warmerdam rushes us as much as it charms us with harebrained works such as Abel, The Northerners, The Dress or Little Tony. Two years ago, at the festival itself, you were discovering his disturbing come back called Borgman. As he collaborates once more with the actor Tom Dewispelaere, the sarcastic director is back in great shape, sharper than ever.
