On the road with a hired killer who doesn't kill and a woman who doesn't look like women in films. This low-key tale of a hit man on his last legs and the woman he picks up on the road mixes Argentinean minimalism with a fascinating sound design, ever so slightly surreal dark-edged Borgesian set pieces, a voiceover narration reminiscent of Historias Extraordinarias (Cinequest 2009), and more than a hint of laughter.

Immaturity versus Adulthood: two will enter, one will leave. Uneasy feelings about becoming a father and adult cause Henrik to act out in hilariously inappropriate ways in this offbeat comedy. On one hand, he wants to ignore adulthood and spend time fooling around with his friends. On the other, he must grow up and make his relationship work with Tone, the mother of his unborn child. Henrik finds it nearly impossible to balance his immaturity with his responsibilities, as he lacks certain abilities needed to handle this conflict.
