Plot

Anna is a vital woman who is married and has two daughters. She picks up her old passion of writing again after frequent requests by a colleague and a friend, but she had not foreseen the consequences of family and friends reading her stories...

Sinekatalog’s take

A wife and mother returns to writing, but family and friends read her stories and the consequences spiral. A thoughtful Dutch drama about creativity and privacy, sharp on how fiction intrudes on real life.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
