When Changing Your Mind Gets You Killed 2024

Directed by Nástio Mosquito

Portraying a seemingly downtrodden stand-up comedian with a cynical sense of humour, Mosquito’s persona attempts to tell absurd comedic anecdotes in the setting of a typical Flemish cafe. The stories are confounding, the humour falls so flat its beguiling. But more broadly, When Changing Your Mind Gets You Killed can be seen as a meditation on the negative ways in which we perceive the altering of opinions in society today, and our capacity to offer and accept apologies.
