Felix Mandel’s troubles begin when he heeds his wife’s demand to clean out his home office, which results in him giving away his dead father’s coat to a homeless person on the streets. No sooner is the coat out of Felix’s hands when he receives a call on his cell phone from his deceased father demanding that he retrieve the coat! Alas, when he returns, the homeless man is gone and so begins Felix’s Job-like journey to find the coat. During this escapade, he racks-up a monster cell phone bill, loses his job, his wife and quite possibly his mind. Arthur Joffe (Let There Be Light, WJFF 1998) has once again created a modern fable told with humor and a French love of the absurd.
