Early bird price 12 euros Thomas has bad luck on the road: the timing belt of his car snapped, a dead cell phone, and a thunderstorm is breaking out. It is also late. The only light in the area comes from a dilapidated snack bar. He goes inside to take shelter and seek help. It is just before closing time. The bar is empty except for one man. It turns out to be Ruben, Thomas’s first lover. Ruben is drunk. Both men haven't seen each other for more than twenty years. As the evening progresses, it becomes clear that they still desire each other. But they don't manage to do anything about it. What starts as a love story derails into an exciting black comedy about power, desire, and the (im)possibility of truly connecting. De Distributieriem exposes how difficult it can be to connect in a society that consists of bubbles of like-minded people.
