The Carriers are Waiting

Dreaming of a better life for himself and his family, Roger resolves to make history by breaking a world record - any record - and settles upon surpassing the previous achievement for door opening: 40,000 times in 24 hours. Wildly original and very funny, the film wryly satirises our achievement-obsessed society and contains a most memorable comic creation in the maniacally driven Roger.
