The Netherlands Film Fund received a lot of criticism for the decision to finance this documentary. That makes it clear how deep the hatred or shame for the NSB past still runs in our country. When her mother, who was born in 1940, died, Marieke van der Winden not only discovered that her mother had a foster brother, but also that her family had close ties with the NSB. More than thirty years after her mother's death, Marieke speaks with family and acquaintances, hoping to learn more about the impact that past has had on her mother and what that means for her own self-image. She even delves into the archives to find out how closely related her parents, but also their immediate relatives, were to the NSB. A courageous, deeply personal and confrontational documentary that will hopefully persuade many potential companions to come to terms with their own family history.
