Fred is 54 years old and lives alone. He rides around in the local bus, virtuously attending church and eating his green beans, meat and potatoes at six o’clock on the dot every day. One day, Theo wanders into the life of Fred and turns his well organized lift upside down. With the special talent of the stranger Theo, Fred starts to set out into the big, wide world. Will he fulfill his dream?
"A dryly absurd comedy (…), MATTERHORN fully deserves all the accolades it's been getting in the past few weeks. Ton Kas is phenomenal as the leaden lead Fred, and Diederik Ebbinge proves to be a damn fine writer/director by making Ton's performance shine as much as it does. Extra points are also scored with the remarkable art direction. In short: highly, highly recommended." (www.twitchfilm.com)
