Director Johan van der Keuken
Countries Netherlands
Duration 10 min
Synopsis
Van der Keuken left behind the unfinished first part of a full-length documentary. In rapid succession, images of friends and acquaintances are rhythmically cross-edited. For the most part, only a single word or phrase is heard; Van der Keuken described the parts as “the barest word, the slightest cry, hesitation, a smile, a nervous twitch, a sigh”.
