Patrick
Life on the nudist colony is fairly routine for handyman Patrick (Kevin Janssens), that is until the mystery of his missing hammer sets in motion a quest of self-discovery.
Director: Tim Mielants
Overview
Tim Mielant's feature-length debut bares all in a film that often brings to mind the work of Aki Karusmaki. With both Kevin Janssens' Patrick and supporting star Jemaine Clement on top form throughout, Patrick sets us off to search in a world where everything is laid out in plain sight.
