poster Fabula (Michiel ten Horn, NL/DE/BE 2025)
Jos (Fedja van Huêt) a provincial criminal from Limburg and from a family of born losers has been completely side-lined to his great chagrin. His daughter no longer respects him, his wife distrusts him and his friends don’t take him seriously. When his somewhat uncouth son in law Özgür provides him with an opportunity to regain his environment’s respect – a lucrative drug deal – Jos grabs it with both hands.
