J. Kessels is the story of the bizarre road trip taken by a French literary pulp writer with his favourite character J. Kessels. The journey takes them from Tilburg to the Hamburg Reeperbahn in Kessels' old American 'Kamikaze' clunker as they seek out cheating dealer. When they get there they find a corpse in the trunk of the Kamikaze: easy to find, but how do you get rid of it?

VIBE

A surreal, darkly funny road trip where reality blurs with fiction. Expect existential musings and bizarre encounters as a writer and his creation navigate a strange, corpse-filled journey. It's a philosophical, off-kilter experience.
