Tue 26 Sep
During a sweltering summer holiday, thirteen-year-old Brian is left with the care of his big brother Lucien, who is seventeen, who is severely mentally disabled. As lonely Brian craves warmth and affection from his father, he is forced to grow up. But how do you take care of someone if you don't know what they need? How do you make the right choices when you still have so much to discover?
Zomervacht is the first feature film by director Joren Molter, whose graduation film Greetings from Kropsdam was selected for 54 film festivals worldwide in 2016.
