Moederliefde plot

Director Mirjam Bartelsman followed 21-year-old Cynthia Stomphorst and her mentally retarded mother for a year. Cynthia appears to be a perfectly normal, calm mbo student from Vlaardingen. In practice, she sleeps during the day and becomes absorbed in games and music at night. Cynthia is not an ordinary twenty-year-old girl from Vlaardingen. She is the only one of the Stomphorst family to be normally gifted and has lived in twelve different places since her childhood: foster families, host families, weekend and crisis families and children's homes. When she is sixteen she can go to a Supported Living project. But after a conflict with a roommate, she is forced to move in with her mentally retarded mother. Here she celebrates her 21st birthday.
