Certain People
A small group of friends are gathered at Katinka’s summer house to celebrate
her birthday. The guests are all in their thirties, upper class, art world, liberal
humanitarian bohemians. The party sets off on a high note, but when Linda, a
blonde game show hostess, is unexpectedly brought to the party, she
stretches the groups invisible social rules of hospitality. Contempt starts to
grow, thus unfolding the group’s hidden prejudices.

Everyone Is Older
than I Am DOC
An entertaining, subjective, fun and a bit melancholy documentary about the
director’s father’s inability to finish his documentary about his father and as a
logic conclusion the problems with fatherhood. For them and therefore for me.
