When Wim and Marie, a young Dutch couple, agree to hide a Jewish
man in their home during the Nazi occupation, they think they are
fulfilling their patriotic duty. Tension and awkwardness reign in
the house as they try to adapt to this forbidden guest, whom they
know as Nico. Small accidents and unexpected encounters ensue as
the dynamic unsettles all three - until Nico dies, and Wim and
Marie must face the risky endeavour of disposing of his body. Taut,
penetrating and rich with dark irony, Comedy in a Minor Key is a
masterful study of human relationships under extreme circumstances.
