Aaltra
This politically incorrect comedy follows the misadventures of two wheelchair–bound warring neighbours. With deadpan, black humour and starring the directors as the two criminally-inclined cripples, this road movie is a journey from pettiness and boredom to Don Quixotean victory, veering wildly around sentimentality and predictability. Touching on many of the big issues of life - adultery, disability, loneliness and Motocross races - this is an unforgettable ride.
Reviews
“A burlesque comedy, engaging and funny, populated by memorable characters and carried out in a most memorable tone.”

About the Director
Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern
Belgians Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern cut their teeth over 15 years writing and acting on TV as stand-up comedians. They met 5 years ago on the set of the independent DV-shot show "Grolandsat" where they cleverly developed and tested their unique style. Aaltra is their first feature film collaboration.
