Half stage show and half film, Kommer is a pointedly humorous and poignant look at how we cope with loss, performed by Kassys, a Dutch theater ensemble. In the opening section, the actors portray a group of people gathered after a nameless tragedy. A series of small scenes reveal their well-meaning attempts to connect and comfort each other. The film that follows uncovers the inner emptiness of the cast members' offstage lives, creating an image of quiet precise physicality and humor, Kommer captures the sadness and accompanying awkwardness inherent in these moments of grief and stress.
