On his birthday, a hitman reluctantly takes on the easy task of killing a writer, only to find the job a lot more difficult than expected.

Following the haunting Borgman, Dutch auteur Alex van Warmerdam extrapolated on that film’s sardonic touch with this delightfully deadpan tale of a fateful duel between two misled men. A new age comedy-of-errors with the slapstick written in violence, and the humor painted in the darkest shade.
