Josef is a forty year old man who hasn’t got many reasons to greet every morning with a smile on his face. He has had as many women in his life as friends that is none. His living space, consisting of his working place (a small cabin on parking) and a room in his mother’s flat, is no bigger than three share meters. The situation gets more complicated when, one day, he gets arrested by two strangers in unfashionable suits. Boo! is a bittersweet story, loosely based on Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial.
