Krijg Nou Tieten plot

Documentary makers and friends Annemiek Brumsteede and Deborah van der Starre are confronted with breast cancer shortly after each other. Both are hereditary tested. It only takes one gene to turn your body into a time bomb and turn your life upside down. Brumsteede appears to be a carrier of the BRCA gene, Van der Starre is not. The two recover and decide to use their personal situation to make a movie. The documentary shows the dilemmas of the terminally ill Mylene, who anxiously awaits the results of the genetic test of her children. Tiffany, who has to make tough choices because of the gene at the age of 25. And the sisters Marianne and Jannicke, one of whom has her breasts removed preventively, after the other has become ill and they both appear to be carriers.
