Alleen met Jenever plot

Kelly's father's body was found on the sofa between piles of mail and garbage, with nothing in the house but eggs and bottles of gin. He had been alone in his apartment for weeks with only the very emaciated parakeet Kiko as a witness. Four years later, Kelly (31) still has questions about her father and his tragic relationship with alcohol. How could this once cheerful, successful businessman's life end in a dirty, desolate flat? Which man was hiding behind her ailing father?

The documentary has an original approach: instead of the alcoholic talking about himself, his environment is speaking, trying to find out who he was and reconstructing his decline by way of the story behind the discovery of a dead man in his apartment. The unsatisfactory thing is that in the end we are not made much wiser or hear very little of interest: the man turned out to be nice to his children and not at all a failure in his life or love affairs, but he simply could not stay away from the drink that increasingly took hold of him, causing him to get into debt and lose his family.

Four years ago, 58-year-old Geert-Jan Klingenberg died in his seriously polluted apartment where he was probably only found by the police after a few weeks and that he had spent his last days on a diet of raw eggs and gin. Together with her sisters Kirsten and Laura, Kelly Klingenberg decides to redecorate the apartment in question as it used to be. In that setting, she first speaks to the officers involved, then people with whom her father had a lot of contact at a certain stage in life. A deeply personal family portrait based on the life story of an apparently functioning alcoholic. Film as therapy for Kelly and her family, but it is not very compelling. Of course, that can be different for people who have (had) to deal with alcoholism within their own family circle.
