THICK 2010
A Black comedy about Rudolph, a sweet-natured idiot savant, blissfully unaware of the chaos he creates. Travelling to his born-again, non-alcoholic-gin-drinking mum’s funeral, Rudolph encounters his deceased, lawn-obsessed father. Through his interaction with a cast of characters including his parents, a shoe-shop assistant, a Satan-worshipping old lady, Pope John Paul ll and a popcorn seller, he and his sister unwittingly uncover the possibility and power of forgiveness.
