Een mislukt eerbetoon aan moederliefde - Expat Cinema Rotterdam
Piano tuner Samuel Dirk is on the brink of a personal catastrophe: his wife has exploded under the pressure, and his desire to have a child seems out of reach. In a wildly surreal world, where people spontaneously explode and limbs must be sacrificed to conceive a baby, Samuel sets out in search of happiness and meaning.
With the help of his mother and his old friend Edwin, he navigates a bizarre village life where magical jam and absurd body horror are as commonplace as warmth and humor. Director Dan Geesin (Sputum) crafts a peculiar fairy tale for adults, in which love, loss, and the pressure of expectations lead to explosive consequences. It’s a film about perseverance, longing, and learning that happiness isn’t always something you can control—sometimes you have to explode before you can heal.
