A man raised in solitude and kept as a sex slave by his mother, who uses fear, lies, and religion to keep him under control, sets out into the world for the first time when it becomes clear that she has been lying to him for all these years, but struggles to adjust to society’s many strange rules, in de Heer’s anarchically hilarious, thoughtfully satirical, and strangely tender black comedy, featuring an outstanding central performance, copious quantities of instantly quotable dialogue, and more large mammaries than one could ever need.
