Poor Bastards is a sketch film, written by twelve authors. Mirror or projection, poor bastards have fun with everyday facts and do not tell a story, but stories. Through these short and bitter stories, are revealed all the cracks of the human race, which, in a movement of globalization and neoliberalism more and more assertive, can lead the ordinary man to be a monster of cowardice, cruelty, indifference or hypocrisy. Poor bastards from an odd angle, transcribe reality provocatively or not, always with the same ambition: to react.
Le vieil homme
An old man, almost deaf, observing and listening to hospital patients. A 12-year old boy, with a pain-insensitive disorder, feeling like a super hero. A nurse, who lost all sense of smell, treating wounded soldiers during WWII. A mute man about to become a father. And a young lad into a coma surrounded by his owns. Five stories in one film, five characters facing their disabilities.
