Turbine

Director: Tjeerd Dam
Absurdist drama in which a young man after an accident with his bicycle ends up in a secluded farm, where the lady of the house takes very good care of him. First he gives in, until the idyll turns into a surrealist nightmare.
Riding his racing bicycle, Ross takes a fall. With a broken bike, he knocks at the door of a secluded farm, where the lady of the house starts pampering him. Every time he says it is time to leave, she presents him with a new surprise: a hot bath, a plate of kale. Ross first thinks this is nice, but gradually her coddling takes on obsessive forms. While behind the farm a wind turbine is whizzing, he starts to lose his nerve.
