Singles are not acceptable in this
world. If your partner dies or divorces you, you are imprisoned in a luxury
hotel and given 45 days to find a suitable partner, ie a partner who shares a
characteristic with you, for example nose bleeds or a limp. If you don’t
succeed, you will be turned into an animal of your choice.
David (Farrell) is there because his
wife left him. He’s with his dog Bob, who is actually his brother, who didn’t
find a partner within the 45 days. David’s choice, should he also fail, is to
become a lobster.
I have seen many a bizarre films but
this one…
I love it.
