Happy Birthday

Pascal, a 45-year-old divorcee, leads a remote and outlandish life. Today is the birthday of his son. Pascal mounts on his moped accompanied by his dog and sets out to find a birthday present.

The Elk

Comedy fuses with science fiction in this quirky film about the chaos that ensues when an “elk” (in fact, a tall individual who wears a coat, does not speak, and has an elk’s head and antlers) emerges from the forest near a small town. Accepted by a family who interacts with him as if nothing is unusual, they initially shelter their guest from their neighbors. But not for long!
