Ver van Daan plot
In Roderik's childhood, his father Daan's bipolar disorder led to his parents' divorce. During a manic phase, Daan destroys everything he and his family have built. Distraught and in great debt, he leaves them behind. After a short hospital stay, he goes wandering and disappears from their lives. Years later he reappears, but the troubled past is not discussed. Roderik seems to be the only one who notices this. He wonders why there is no talking and longs for the warm family from before his father became ill. In the documentary, main character Roderik Schaepman investigates how his father became manic-depressive and whether he can still restore the family ties that have been disrupted since then.
