Tuba Atlantic [short] (***1/4)

This absurdist, Norwegian mini-fable about a seaside-dwelling eccentric given six days to live is not for every taste, particularly the tastes of those who mind seeing birds harmed. Naturally, the codger decides to spend his last days ridding his vicinity of the seagulls whose constant presence ruins his tranquility. However, the unexpected arrival of a teenage girl, while not deterring the former project, inspires him to complete another one that began long ago.
