DUTCH PREMIERE

Director’s statement

It’s a story about a young man who possesses hidden anger and frustration and who only wants to escape far away from everything surrounding him. I honestly believe that the majority of the audience can relate to some scenes and maybe ask themselves ”What would they do if they were in the main character’s place?”. In the film we are always with Nicola because I wanted to transfer the pain and his suffering to the audience with some hyper realistic scenes and with atmosphere.
