De Idylle plot
"Embrace your suffering."
Victor finally comes out of the closet, but realizes that he is now considered too old for the dating market. His sister, opera diva Annika, imagines what a different life she could have had after she receives a terminal diagnosis. In the meantime, their grandmother Joke is unable to die, and ten-year-old Timo checks off his bucket list. They are all looking for the same impossible goal: the perfect fulfillment of life.

Joke [Beppie Melissen] wants to die, Annika [Hadewych Minis] is dying, 10-year-old Timo [Isacco Limper] thinks he's going to die and teacher Musa [Nabil Mallat] has had enough of life. Finally, there's 40-year-old Victor [Eelco Smits] who just came out of the closet and starts his search for the man of his dreams. Failed mosaic film bizarrely mistaken for funny, has inconsistent acting (especially Smits and Limper are exposed) and goes so far off the track that it ultimately completely negates two storylines!

I thought this was a pretty good film. Especially all the things the teacher, played by Nabil Mallat, says. What he says to a student and what he says to his son. Very powerful perspectives.
Eelco Smits was also good in his role.
I personally don't like it when "fantasy/thoughts" get mixed up with reality. I often find that confusing and distracting in a film, because it's presented too visually. In a book, you can create more of an image. And you can keep a "fantasy," for example, "small." In a film, a fantasy hits just as hard as reality.
But luckily, this only happened more towards the end. But I don't think it needed to.
Compliments to the director.

This one was on TV and I caught it. A mosaic film about death. Each story is more interesting than the last. The cast certainly didn't do a bad job.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was good for a one-time experience.
