PATRICK (DE PATRICK) New Auteurs

Talent attending: Kevin Janssens (Talent)

Patrick has lost his hammer (and also his father). Now left at the helm of the family business, a beautiful naturalist camp nestled in the Belgian forests, his stress is quickly multiplying. Between the tree-line and the river, the trailers and the road, there is a culprit, and Patrick discovers that everyone is a suspect. Kevin Janssens, clad in a boyish bowl-cut and not much else, carries the film in the title role, along with a colorful cast including Jemaine Clement (FLIGHT OF THE CONCORDS) as an arrogant rock star. Director Tim Mielants (PEAKY BLINDERS, LEGION) delivers a costumeless drama that, while revealing family secrets, affairs, political agendas, and violent outburst, is at its core a humorous and touching story about loss and grief. –Eric Moore
