Delightfully ambiguous: a woman assumes the appearance (and behaviour) of her hubby, but the title is also a nod to Oscar-nominated predecessor A Single Life by animation trio Job, Joris & Marieke.
A couple put themselves in their better half’s shoes for a change. It starts out as a harmless gender-bender prank, but when the missus understands how much more interesting life is as a man, a marital tragedy is in the making. Absurdistically elaborated and executed with a great sense of timing and detail by animation trio Job, Joris & Marieke.
