Aaltra

Directors/writers Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern play Ben and Gus, a farmer and a commuter in a small Belgian village, who cannot stand each other.

Der Landwirt Ben und der Pendler Gus sind Nachbarn in einem kleinen belgischen Dorf und können einander nicht ausstehen. Außerdem sind beide unglücklich mit ihrem Leben. Ein Zufall führt zu einem Streit; in weiterer Folge zu einem Unfall mit einer landwirtschaftlichen Maschine (der Marke Aaltra), nach dem sich heraus stellt, dass beide querschnittgelähmt sind. Selbstmord kommt für sie nicht in Frage, statt dessen treten sie eine recht seltsame Reise nach Finnland an, um den Hersteller der Unglücksmaschine ausfindig zu machen. Während dieser Reise verändert sich die Beziehung zwischen den Streithähnen und ihre Sicht auf das Leben.","technik_farbe":"","world_sales":"","filmtitel_en":"","screenplay":"Benoît Delépin, Gustave Kervern","producers_countries":"","production_company_country":"La Parti Productions","regietext_format":"","vorfuhrformat":"","technik_sprachfassung":"OmEU","regie_co":"Gustave Kervern","technik_geschwindigkeit":"","technik_info":"","technik_tonart":"","short_cv":"","filmography":"","languages_katalog":"","premierenstatus":"","world_premiere":"","rechte_final":"","austrian_rights":"","synopsis_en":"Directors/writers Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern play Ben and Gus, a farmer and a commuter in a small Belgian village, who cannot stand each other.
