정체불명의 비밀집단 우두머리인 보그만은 죽음의 위협을 피해 어느 부유한 저택가로 숨어든다. 집주인에게 그의 아내 마리나와 잘 아는 사이라고 말하지만 소유욕 강한 남자에게 오히려 두들겨 맞는 수모를 당한다. 결국 마리나가 지저분하지만 어딘가 카리스마가 있는 그를 불쌍히 여겨 남편 몰래 집안에 숨겨주게 되고, 보그만과 그의 하수인들은 부유한 중산층 가정을 쑥밭으로 만들어버리는 계획에 착수한다. 주인공의 이름이 제목이기도 한 은 네덜란드 영화로서는 38년 만에 처음으로 올해 칸영화제 경쟁부문에 초청됨으로써 화제를 불러일으킨 작품이다. 이 영화에서 중산층 파괴는 네덜란드 감독 특유의 유머로써 연출된다. 악의 무리가 단란한 가정으로 잠입하여 와해시킨다는 익숙한 소재를 으스스한 블랙 코미디의 느낌으로 표현하는 솜씨 또한 일품이다. 인물들의 뛰어난 연기는 이 개성 넘치는 영화에 설득력을 부여하며, 시공간의 경계로부터의 탈피는 초현실적 분위기를 자아낸다. 구구절절 설명 없이 영화 전체를 끌고 나가는 힘이 돋보이는 수작이다.

Sarah, 30, single, well educated, likes art, places a voice ad for phone sex, inviting replies from men under 35, sturdy and sensual. Wilbert, a chubby middle aged architect, leaves a message that he is Thomas, 32 and well formed. A week later, she phones. She likes his voice, he likes her laugh, so once a week she phones him (he's not to know her last name, where she lives, or her number). Portraits emerge of humor and sadness. He presses for details of her life and tells her about his work; she wants these Thursday calls to be fantasy and release, separate from the rest of who she is. The film dramatizes these tensions of lies and truth, connection and distance. Written by
