Synopsis
Pickle is a security guard at a factory that makes Buddha statues, owned by Kevin. Belly Button, his friend, collects recyclable waste. To overcome the boredom of their lives, they hit upon a novel mode of entertainment: to see the footage caught on boss Kevin’s car dashboard camera. This allows them en ‘entry’ into the boss’s very different world of the rich and the powerful. The camera footage only shows the road ahead, but the soundtrack has much to offer as the boss and his numerous girlfriends make out. One day, however, the two friends stumble upon footage of a murder that will change their life drastically…. The film is shot in black and white and only the dashcam footage is in colour. It is a stylized, stylish debut feature, with a good dose of wry humour.
