Synopsis:

Set in a village in Belgium, Bob, Flemish, and Marcel, Walloon share their solitude, sense of humor and craving for alcohol. Bob is a retired ranger who loves freedom and the forest and wants to spend his retirement in silence, while Marcel is a family man on the edge of losing everything.

This is a hilarious comedy about friendship soaked in hectoliters of alcohol. This tragic but at the same time comical ode to failure, is a touching and hilarious portrayal of two lonely men that is abundant with humor and humanity. At the same time the director skillfully avoids turning her work into a gloomy and exploitative film.

The film was the best documentary of the last year according to the critics’ selection by the magazine Sight and Sound.
