About the film

Who or what is punishing me?!

What it’s about

Jos, a 55-year-old criminal, feels sidelined: his daughter disrespects him, his wife distrusts him, and his friends mock him. When a drug deal goes wrong, he scrambles to fix it while searching for the source of his misfortune.

What hooks you

Michiel ten Horn directs this fantasy-crime-comedy. Fedja van Huêt plays Jos, alongside Sezgin Güleç as Özgür. The film blends folklore with a criminal underworld in a small town.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who enjoy dark humor and small-town settings where a flawed protagonist's bad luck feels almost supernatural. It also appeals to those who like crime tales with a folkloric twist and absurd comedy.
