CONVOI EXCEPTIONNEL

Narrative short/10'/Netherlands/2019

Synopsis

A tragicomic and sometimes absurdist story of a forty-year-old Ronnie who is still living with his mother while working as a transport guide for convoi exceptionnel.

Now that she is dying, the son will have to search for a woman (and children) to make her happy. But how?
