Fresh from directing episodes of Legion and Peaky Blinders, director Tim Mielants strikes out on his own with Patrick. One summer, things go very wrong at a Belgian nudist campsite.
The hulking but mild mannered handyman Patrick (Kevin Janssens) just wants to get his hammer back. But between a recent bereavement and the wild residents of the site (including a rock star Jermaine Clement!), he discovers the hidden side of naturism. With warm lighting making the Flanders landscape look wholly inviting, broad comedy and psychological realism that lands somewhere between Carry on Camping and Taxi Driver, this hilarious, unique film is pinpoint accurate about human emotions.
