ZOKKI

2021 · 113 min

A patchwork of odd, funny and quietly sad vignettes that drifts between deadpan comedy and sudden unease, rewarding patience with small strange pleasures.

Overview
Five loosely connected storylines concerning the secrets and lies, the fears and tears, and the puerile potty jokes that punctuate the characters' daily (and in one eerie case, nightly) encounters.
