Het dak van de Walvis

Jun 20 1986 N/A 1h 30m
Fantasy, Mystery

A parody of anthropology, linguistics, and cultural imperialism. The film follows an unlikely team of linguists into the wilds of an ersatz Patagonia to study the last speakers of a dying language. That language apparently consists of a single word, which therefore means everything.
