Night falls. A man who rode in the car all day, stopped at a chip shop run down the side of a lake. He returned from a business trip to Brussels. He is exhausted. He believes that the wrong way. The chip shop owner, Theo, serving him a beer, do not stop talking about: the many tourists, waste thrown into the lake, the ducks choke trying to swallow the remains of fries, rights animal welfare, etc.. Durand, the businessman, is struggling to put a word. Finally, after much hesitation, he admits he has not lost, but it can not find his country.
This statement is first received with incredulity, and humor, as a joke, for Theo, who is embarking on comparisons sociological, and eschatological increasingly wacky. But the despair of Durand - his country was at the exact location of the lake, he said - seems sincere and Theo can not help but be affected. The two situations are perhaps not so dissimilar.
With the man who could not find their country of Ian Toffoli, young writer in residence with the NFL, has written an allegorical or mythological offset or a macabre farce, or a family drama, and yet that's all This at a time. It is a piece deliberately destabilizing and anti-realistic, dreamlike sometimes a shepardesque but nevertheless raises very serious questions about the basic needs of man - work, home, family, identity - and its role in today's society.
