Summaries

A bereaved nudist campsite handyman finds himself on an existential quest as he attempts to recover his missing favorite hammer.

De Patrick is a family drama about people's peculiarities, about letting go and being happy with who you are: 39-year-old Patrick lives with his parents on a naturist campsite. When his domineering father Rudy dies he finds himself in charge of the campsite, however he has other things on his mind. He has lost his favorite hammer. The long term camp guests want him to get a grip on his life, but he is determined to find his hammer. His search becomes an existential quest.—Bart Van Langendonck

Autistic simpleton Patrick (39) helps his father operationally run a nudist colony in the Ardennes, but when domineering father Rudy has a fatal heart attack, must manage all himself, while dealing with unrealistic expectations from the board of residents and its Dutch president Herman, who smells more power. Patrick still concentrates on handyman jobs, but gets obsessed with the loss of one of his beloved set of ten hammers, so searches the camp and confronts anyone who may have had hold of t, as turns out a whole chain of borrowers. That seemed inconsequential, but the hammer, which can't be replaced as the series is no longer produced, is identified as a murder weapon, yet Patrick ignores the constable's informal suggestion to pretend ignoring about it.—KGF Vissers
