The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick
Drama
Goalkeeper Josef Bloch is sent off after committing a foul during an away game. This causes him to lose his bearings, and he wanders aimlessly through the city streets and spends the night with the box-office attendant of a movie theatre.
VIBE
A stark, disorienting dive into a man adrift. It feels like a lonely, existential drift through a gray, indifferent city, punctuated by moments of bleak, absurd humor and profound alienation.
