MY DAD IS A SAUSAGE

MIJN VADER IS EEN SAUCISSE

belgium
Directed by: Anouk Fortunier

Much to the horror of his family, Pol leaves his boring but very secure and well-paying job at the bank to finally fulfill his dream of becoming an actor. Although no one is quite sure if it’s a case of professional burnout or a full-fledged midlife crisis, Pol’s youngest daughter Zoe has made up her mind: she thinks it’s a great idea! She is the only one who supports him and the only one who also believes he has actual acting talent waiting to be discovered by the world. Pol’s quixotic quest seems doomed to failure, but it soon will end up in an entirely different, entirely unexpected place for the whole family.

“My Dad Is a Sausage [offers] a modern fairytale about burnout that is both poetic and rooted in reality, and aimed at an audience of children and young teens that are taken seriously.”
