Schneider vs. Bax
Synopsis
Schneider, a hired killer, reluctantly accepts a job on his birthday. Among other things, because the target shouldn’t be causing him much trouble: he’s Ramon Bax, a writer who lives alone and who woke up hungover this morning with his young lover by his side and his daughter Francisca about to arrive. A couple of years ago, Van Warmerdam left Sitges with first prize under his arm; now he’s back again with a humor that’s blacker than ever.
