After PM Rutte’s appeal to all Dutch people to stay home as much as possible, Amsterdam's usually crowded shopping streets were completely deserted. This short film seizes the exceptional opportunity to tell the story of Hussein, who has been suffering from agoraphobia since his parents’ sudden death. He locks himself into the house and avoids the most important people in his life. When nobody is on the streets, does Hussein dare to go out?
Nicole Jachmann | Live-Action | 16’09’'
Fifteen-year-old Robin and her best friend Merel share everything and are inseparable. Except for Robin's budding sexuality and curiosity. Robin is ashamed of this and keeps it anxiously hidden.
Naomi Pacifique | Live-Action | 21’00’’
Nights are long inside Naomi and Ram’s room. They’ve invited Marina over tonight, and their messy space is under scrutiny. Exploring intimacy as a personal playground, skin as an intimate map, Naomi’s docile body is coming to lose amidst the tension inside a room she continues knowing and unknowing. The small expressive child inside her is itching to ring its giggle through the night before day breaks.
