Escort plot

Chantal is in her late twenties and a hairdresser. She dreams of owning her own nail salon and to earn that dream more quickly, she occasionally works as an escort, only company, no sex. One day, one of Chantal's regular escort clients, the rich sixties Jacobsen, asks if she wants to marry him. He has a tumor in his head and the doctors give him another six months. All he wants is the time left for him to spend with a beautiful woman. In return, Chantal will become his sole heir. After much deliberation and after difficult conversations with her boyfriend Robin, Chantal decides to accept the proposal. But what begins as a simple marriage of convenience turns into a nightmare for Chantal.

The script is nice, the actors are good, but the execution is bloodless. At one point I felt like I was watching a children's movie. I think the problem with many Dutch directors is that they set the bar too low. The fact that this film won a Golden Calf for best television drama in 2006 says a lot about the state of Dutch cinema at that time and I don't have the impression that it has gotten much better since then.

One of the better "Telefilms". The story is well put together, although the last twist is a bit exaggerated. Rifka Lodeizen is a great actress, but I already knew that from her other performances.

Beautician Chantal [Rifka Lodeizen] dreams of her own beauty salon and therefore earns some extra money as an escort on weekends, without sex being involved. When one of her regular customers [Tom Jansen] promises Chantal 2,000,000 Euros if she marries him and stays with him until his death, Chantal agrees, knowing that her husband-to-be only has six months to live. Chantal's friend Robin [Bastiaan Ragas] already counts himself rich, but of course things don't go according to plan in this completely ridiculous so-called thriller, including a surprisingly intended denouement. An embarrassment to the talented cast, especially Ragas, who had to get the most ridiculous string of swear words out of his throat.
