Aaltra is a 2004 Belgian French-language deadpan black comedy film directed and written by Gustave de Kervern and Benoît Delépine. The film won four awards and was nominated for three others.

Plot

Benoit Delepine plays a harassed businessman wrecked by his commute, who is working from home, against company rules. He is called in to the office and comes across his deadly enemy, a jobbing farmworker Gustave de Kervern, who is spraying herbicide along the roads – and into the businessman's prized garden, from his tractor – and who won't let him past. The businessman loses his job, things escalate and he seeks out the farmworker and gets into a fight with him.

The two wake up in hospital, having been crushed by a badly-functioning farm machine. They are now confined to wheelchairs, and set out in their chairs for Finland to seek out the manufacturer of the faulty farm machine and get compensation.
