DESCRIPTION

A humorous and surprising black comedy. One country is the backdrop to a multithreaded story. Four directors tell six stories, each of which can be explored separately, but all of which come together as a whole. Mundane, everyday situations take an unexpected turn. The road bandit, the IRS audit, the mean boss, the annoying neighbor, the unpaid rent tenant – the perverse, wild stories require extraordinary resilience from the characters.
