Fatcula

9 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

A mystical beauty surgery clinic is built next to a sports club which threatens to ruin the club’s owner. What is going on in this clinic? The solution seems to be inside a bottle of “Fat Burner”.

“The story of „Fatcula" is inspired by genre films and by my own experience of being a long-time member of a sports club. A big influence in particular was my visit to the Sitges Film Festival in Catalonia. There I got even more confirmation that genre films don't have to be considered solely as entertainment and bad taste. One can actually use genre in a creative and playful way!” – director Martinus Klemet
