I thought it was a very scary, strange film that gave me a bad feeling for the entire 90 minutes. I had something to do with Mr. De Waal. Is he somehow being held hostage in the hospital and is he completely kept in the dark about what is going on with him? I also found the way he was addressed poignant. Polite, but always missing the point and with a misplaced undertone. Just awful. Fortunately, people today view healthcare provision differently.

Excellent acting, excellent even I thought. First of all from Woudenberg, but also Groothof. The film also has its small, nice, warm moments. The friendship with Frank certainly stands out.

Very happy to have seen this. Very warmly recommended.
