Emma Blank lives in a large country estate far from social convention. The seriously ill lady of the house is cared for by a staff of servants – the family members. Her husband has become a butler, her sister a cook, her daughter a maid, her brother is pretending to be a dog. They all follow the woman’s orders in a disciplined manner so that she can happily spend the rest of her life in the house. But as the cruelty of the sick woman’s demands grows, the patience of those around her, eager to inherit her fortune, diminishes. With characteristic mischief and a flair for the absurd, Alex van Warmerdam explores the family power constellations. (Febiofest)

It’s horrible what money can do to a person. This is the second film from this director I watched and I understood that he likes to make films about qualities that no sane and sensible person can stand in people. That’s also why I had a problem with the film, because it went to extremes in some respects. And this goes for its first half as well as the second. It definitely made one ponder, but it was really extremely demanding and difficult for me to watch the film in peace. Absurd all the way through, but the message is still quite clear.
