Against his will, E. Busken resides in the closed ward of an elderly care facility. He feels he is treated like a toddler and refuses to speak. He surrenders to a stream of memories and observations of his fellow residents and the care staff. Is he rambling, or is he – as he claims – still of sound mind? Is he remembering real memories, or is he imagining this richly filled life? Directorial debut by Maria Kraakman at ITA with Gijs Scholten van Aschat and Jip van den Dool, based on the novel by Jeroen Brouwers.
