Spending most of her days alone at home while her husband is away at work, a young anthropology student is troubled by repeated visits from her building’s gregarious repairman.
Class conflict is fought through polite insults, perverse mind games and ever-expanding plumbing work in this dark, absurdist comedy of manners.
At once tense and funny, The Plumber is an acerbic critique of bourgeois hypocrisy and intolerance that sits on the cusp between art house cinema and Ozploitation fare.
