August Willemsen, de Bladzijde en de Werkelijkheid plot

Writer and translator August Willemsen (1936-2007) owes his fame not only to his translations of the poems of the Portuguese Fernando Pessoa, but also to his epistolary novel Brazilian Letters (1985). That novel, in which he provides a compelling account of his experiences and travels in Brazil, inspired director Frederieke Jochems, fifteen years after Willemsen's death, to investigate what attracted the writer to the immense country.
