Details of: Gluckauf (Son of Mine)
| English Storyline | Length in min | Country | Awards |
|---|---|---|---|
A powerful father-son drama plays out in the ignored, impoverished Dutch province of South Limburg, which offers no opportunity for escape.
Fifty-something Lei (Bart Slegers) is a petty criminal just about getting by in the Dutch province of Zuid-Limburg. His son Jeffrey is everything to him; all he has. Gluckauf revolves around this suffocating love. The abrasively realistic style is unmistakeably reminiscent of the films of the Dardenne brothers, who set most of their films just a stone’s throw away. |
