Bizarrely structured yet compelling short film based on the writings of Franz Kafka and directed by the Belgian filmmaker Harry Kümel. It's especially interesting to see Kümel's smaller TV-work before he went on directing some of our country's ONLY great horror films like "Malpertuis" and "Daughters of Darkness" in the 1970's. The story revolves on a royal who's making some sort of inventory of all the employees working on his domain when he makes acquaintance with the guard of his family vault (= grafbewaker). The elderly and fatigue man claims to battle the restless spirits of the Lord's ancestors every night since more than 30 years. Initially, the guard seems crazy but he sounds really convinced and determined to continue his duty for several years more. There's a minimum on sets and no real action sequences, only dialogs and really good acting performances. The camera-work is also very stylish, with inventive angles and classy black & white filming. Julien Schoenaerts and Jeff Demedts are very adequate actors and they're still working now – 40 years later – for Belgian television.
