With a seriously ill husband [Jules Croiset] in the hospital and a daughter [Johanna Hagen] who works irregular shifts in the hospital, Sjuul's life mainly consists of hospital visits and taking care of her (very irritating) grandson. Until she meets her old love Rocco [Sabri Saad El-Hamus], with whom she reminisces and who brings some color into her life. But Rocco has his own baggage and turns out to be an egocentric fool without empathy or a sense of responsibility. There is no reason to have sympathy for Rocco and when Sjuul brings her (lack of) sex life into the discussion with her children, there is no saving it. The perfunctory ending cannot come quickly enough in this failed formula film with moody music and old pop tunes. Melissen is the only one who provides depth to her character and deserved a better screenplay.

And hurray: as one of the first visitors I received a goodie bag from "Vegro - Jouw Zorgwinkel"!

Not really a good movie.

A bit lame and childish.

Quickly forget this monstrosity.

A beautiful and moving film about love in old age, where Beppie Melissen's natural character blends perfectly with Sabri Saad El-Hamus's charm. Ingeborg Elzevier and Nazmiye Oral also have fine supporting roles, but the daughters' one-dimensional reactions are a bit much – personally, I would have closed the door behind me at the sound of "Oh, Mom, you're absolutely crazy!" Nevertheless, a sweet and perfectly acted film that might appeal most to an older audience. And why Timo is supposedly a bothersome little boy is completely unclear to me, but I might be biased because the young actor and the elderly Thornhill have the same first name.
