Late Check-Out
DIRECTOR / SOPHIE VAN DER POL
ANS (63), her husband JAAP (65), and their son HARRY (29) have been regulary at their all-inclusive hotel at the Dutch coast for years. This year is no different and it promises to be another fantastic week. Until Harry is overcome by emotions he's never experienced before. Ans notices her son only has attention for the hotel's receptionist SALMA (24) and realizes she can no longer mother him. Jaap encourages his wife to give their son some space, with comedic and uncomfortably painful situations as a result.
With production support from the Netherlands Film Fund as part of Filmfonds Shorts.
