Description
Rotterdam-based Gerrie (68) has lived with his second wife Rosa in the Algarve for years, but is still officially registered in the Netherlands. Gerrie, formerly a bus driver, is a COPD patient who goes to Rotterdam yearly for his medical checkups and other routine visits. He then stays with his Cape Verdean stepdaughter and also reunites with his son Dick (45), who is at odds with himself and the rest of the world. Gerrie has been closing his eyes and ears to his son’s issues for years. Dick always expects too much from the brief reunion with his father and wants quality time. This year, the threat hangs in the air, and it could well be Gerrie’s last visit to the Netherlands.
