Samen Alleen plot

It was 1992 when Carmen Cobos and Kees Rijninks met. There is an instant connection between them. They share not only love, but also a special passion for documentary. Not a problem, until Kees was suddenly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2014. The relationship between Kees and Carmen comes under increasing pressure when Kees' situation seems hopeless. Does a life without perspective still make sense?

In the 2Doc Samen (2020)colleagues and lovers Kees Rijninks and Carmen Cobos examined their future prospects after Kees was diagnosed that he had Parkinson's disease. This is the sequel to that documentary and it mainly confirms what Kees and Carmen already knew four years earlier. In the intervening years, they pinned their hopes on the promise of a cure “within ten years”, but the hope for a lifeline has all but disappeared. Adds little to Together, apart from the powerlessness of a healthy partner who notices that her loved one increasingly talks about 'I' and not 'we' in joint conversations with care providers.
