Box Office & Ticket Information
| 2008 LVHIFF ABSURDISTAN
European Showcase | Hawaii PREMIERE
Veit Helmer's inventive and allegorical comedy introduces us to Absurdistan, a once beautiful, now utterly desolate, land. In a water-starved village, two childhood sweethearts, Aya and Temelko, await the date (foretold by Aya's grandmother) that a perfect celestial alignment will bless their first night of love. An intrepid inventor, Temelko plans to repair the villiage’s aging water pipe, but the apathetic older men scoff at his designs. The women, fed up with the men's inaction, take matters into their own hands and declare a strike. No water, no sex. The gender lines are drawn, reinforced with barbed wire, and our young lovers find themselves on opposite sides of a fast-escalating feud.
