When esteemed psychiatrist “Williams” (Martin Freeman) turns up in the office of a prison governor, he is presented with the problem of the inmate “Voorman” who really believes he is a god. What’s more, he seems to have managed to convince the entire institution that he is too! Well a consultation is obviously in order and so he sits opposite the straight-jacketed gent (Tom Hollander) who proceeds to offer to prove his credentials by making Belgium disappear! Easy enough to counter, surely - or did we never actually listen to “J’aime la vie” at Eurovision after all? This is quite a quirky short feature that shows off an engaging mischievousness from Hollander and presents us with quite a conundrum of our own as it ends with us questioning just about all of the certainties we started with. Sleight of hand or act of god? Worth ten minutes, I’d say.
