What happens
Kommen und Gehen (portugiesischer Originaltitel: Vai e Vem) ist ein groteskes Filmdrama des portugiesischen Regisseurs João César Monteiro aus dem Jahr 2002. Der Film war sein letztes Werk und erschien erst nach seinem Krebstod im Februar 2003. Der Film trägt Züge einer schwarzen Komödie und nimmt, in zeitgemäßer Erscheinung, zu zwei Filmen Bezug: die von Hauptdarsteller W. C. Fields geschriebene Kurzfilmkomödie The Fatal Glass of Beer (1933) und Charlie Chaplins schwarze gesellschaftskritische Komödie Monsieur Verdoux – Der Frauenmörder von Paris (1947).
