In 1980 Lucas [Reinout Scholten van Aschat] and Johanna [Sallie Harmsen] lost their 5-year-old son Kai [River Oosterink] while crossing the Atlantic Ocean with their own sailing boat. Forty years later, Lucas [Gijs Scholten van Aschat] decides to put that tragedy at the center of his latest theater performance. During the rehearsal, Johanna [Elsie de Brauw] returns to his life for the first time since they broke up to express her disgust at this performance. Lucas and Johanna therefore force each other to process the grief they have carried with them all these years. Based on a true event, but Marieke van der Pol's scenario is not very nuanced. It consists of a succession of melodramatic incidents that are presented almost as a matter of course. A tiresome melodrama, augmented with clichéd piano motifs and swelling strings. The actors pull out all the stops, with Harmsen and De Brauw as the stars, and the finale is quite moving despite everything, but those who want to see really good Dutch films on this theme are better off Romeo (1990) and/or Blind Date (1996) pull it out again.

What a very good movie this is!
Haven't seen such a compelling, moving, but also powerful film in years. sublime acting with a beautiful ending. I was really drawn into the film, it made me emotional and I was sorry that it ended after 2 hours. What a sad story, but also nice to see how the protagonists finally turn out to be able to give this great sadness a place after 40 years... An absolute must.

Good film about a couple who lose their son during a sailing trip. In itself a fairly standard story about grief, but because of the two different times in which it takes place, it makes the whole thing better. The second half is also the best in that respect. A little long-winded. Good acting from the entire cast.
