Marleen

Lena, a young woman, is filmed during various group therapy sessions. In this intimate drama, she is the only person speaking. This short debut film wants to get down to the core of Lena's seminal relationships so far: the relationship with her father, her first boyfriend, and finally her colleague and date, Marleen. Owing to the unexpectedly open gaze with which Marleen looks at her, Lena, somewhat surprised, can see herself in a different light.

January

For twenty-something Willem, January begins with a heavy dose of heartbreak. He is confronted with the question: who am I now, without my ex?
