About the Schneider vs. Bax 💬

Schneider (Tom Dewispelaere), a hitman, gets a call from Mertens (Gene Bervoets) on the morning of his birthday. He has a last minute assignment for Schneider who refuses it, because it is his birthday and he has promised his wife, Lucy (Loes Haverkort), to help her with the preparations for a dinner party. Mertens insists that it is an important matter. When they meet in Mertens' office, Schneider is told that the target is Ramon Bax (Alex van Warmerdam), a writer. Bax lives alone in a secluded place. ''It's an easy job. With a little luck, you're back home before noon.'' Schneider accepts the assignment.

Bax, over sixty, is staying at his summer house on the edge of a lake surrounded by reeds. He is recovering from a night of drugs and alcohol. When he remembers that his daughter Francisca (Maria Kraakman) is coming to see him today, he heartlessly gets rid of his young mistress Nadine (Eva van de Wijdeven). Francisca arrives. She is depressed and unhappy, and her father does not know how to deal with her. He urges her to take drugs and compares her unfavorably with her sister. They quarrel and she starts to cry. Bax suppresses his discomfort with a joint, vodka and some haphazardly chosen pills.

What was promised to be a simple job turned out to be much more than Schneider ever expected.

• DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

''The social criticism emerges as a side effect, rather than as a purpose in itself. I let it appear in the story, although you have to pay close attention. In this film, I created the contrast between the perfect housewife preparing a family birthday party while the husband is wrestling with someone to give it a comedic twist.''
