Northern Light

Lucien runs a boxing school in the north of Amsterdam. His son Mitchel is fifteen. The two of them live in the same house. Two and a half years ago there was an accident. Mitchel’s mother and sister were killed in it. Since that day nobody in the house has spoken of it. The grief is in plain sight and it has no name. At a birthday meal Mitchel goes at his father. He wants him to face it at last. Lucien loses himself at the words. He flies at his son. After the fight what was left between them breaks too. The man grows more and more isolated. Everything he holds slips out of his hands. The film follows what unspoken mourning does. Raymond Thiry and Dai Carter appear in the eighty five minute film, a Dutch production David Lammers finished in 2006.
