On the one hand, a rather boring and especially old-fashioned portrait of grieving. Minimalist cinema. Also a mockumentary in which the two main characters, father and mother, regularly express their feelings into the lens of the camera.

In itself, the grieving process and reminiscing about the tragic death of their son is interesting, but the whole thing (approach, decoration, etc.) is very dull. It takes some effort to break through that dull scene. In that respect it is anything but for everyone.

The municipality of Temse aan de Schelde made an important contribution to the film. This is also evident with the statues along the Scheldt and the cemetery. The acting is decent, but Dora van der Groen is not exactly my favorite actress. It is also interesting how the father continues to wither away, he struggled with an alcohol problem and how the mother is also tired of life. In that respect, again, a socially critical view.
