Fucking Cola

DIRECTOR / SOPHIE VAN DER POL

Stef is seventeen and stutters. On his grandmother's birthday in South Limburg he wants to tell the good news about his studies, but as always he doesn't get to speak. Now that he is almost an adult, he is completely done with this. To everyone's surprise, this time he makes his own voice heard.

With support from CineSud, Del Ferro Institute, Kanunnik Salden Foundation, Dutch Stuttering Federation, Province of Limburg.
