Frantic Attempts

Joris Tobé

A comic journey through a coaching weekend for personal growth. About fatherhood, a self-help book, a role play, a disastrous screaming exercise and our frantic search for answers which we may never really get.

A coaching weekend for personal growth, gifted by his girlfriend who, against all odds, turns out to be pregnant. It’s hard to imagine a more bewildering start to Mathias’ weekend. Reluctantly, he joins a group of struggling and self-absorbed GenZ’s and their megalomaniac coach, Anne, in a large villa far away from anywhere. Despite the weekend starting with the spiritual hot air one would expect, a breakthrough becomes imminent. Will Mathias find his long sought answers after all? When coach Anne disappears, Mathias steps up to save the weekend and, perhaps, himself.
