The Fries Philosopher
Abi Patat
Discover the soul of Amsterdam’s Turkish fries baker Abi, as he struggles with the demolition of his beloved snack bar. Abi is a neighborhood father, a poet and an entertainer.
The charming short introduces us to the equally charming Abi, an Amsterdam fries cook whose snack bar also serves as a community centre. Amid his charismatic public persona, we delve into his private moments of poetry and the heartbreaking reality of the impending demolition of his well-loved snack bar. In a world increasingly beset by invasive gentrification, The Fries Philosopher is a tribute to the many small local businesses around the world that have vanished due to the pursuit of corporate profits.
