Au Hasard Balthazar
Drama
The story of a donkey Balthazar as he is passed from owner to owner, some kind and some cruel but all with motivations beyond his understanding. Balthazar, whose life parallels that of his first keeper, Marie, is truly a beast of burden, suffering the sins of humankind. But despite his powerlessness, he accepts his fate nobly.
VIBE
A profound, often devastating, yet strangely beautiful meditation on existence. It feels like witnessing the quiet dignity of a soul enduring the worst of humanity, a stark and unforgettable journey through life's inherent hardships.
