Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man
Drama
The son of the owner of a large Italian cheese factory is kidnapped, but as the factory is on the verge of bankruptcy the owner hatches a plan to use the ransom money as reinvestment in the factory.
VIBE
A darkly absurd and unsettling character study. It’s a bleakly comic look at desperation, where familial bonds fray under the weight of capitalist ambition. The film feels like a strange, European fever dream.
