Als Ik Mijn Ogen Sluit plot
What did the women and children in the Japanese camps in the Dutch East Indies experience? What wounds and traumas were left behind and how did they deal with them during their lives? "When I Close My Eyes" is a film about the women and girls who survived the Japanese camps and how they dealt with this later in life. After all, the Japanese camps left behind large scars, and many of those scars have not yet healed or disappeared. The stories of the survivors were no longer heard or recognized in the Netherlands after the war and it is difficult for the survivors to accept that many people know little about this period. This evokes feelings of anger and causes renewed intense pain.
