- Synopsis
- Patrick is the handyman on his father’s naturist camping site. The campers give him odd jobs; the remaining time he dedicates to his hobby of designing and creating furniture. When he loses his favourite hammer, his quest to retrieve it takes him to the farthest corners of the camp site. When Patrick’s father passes away, his quest becomes existential. Is he mourning because of his father? Or is he thinking mostly about his lost hammer? In the meantime, the resident campers are beginning to question Patrick’s leadership abilities, fearing for the survival of their beloved sanctuary. As Patrick grows increasingly obsessed with his quest, they become more and more convinced that the end is near. For resident camper Herman, though, this represents a perfect opportunity to realize his dream of taking over the camping site. In Patrick, Patrick discovers nothing in the real world can ever be simple.
