Stricken

Stijn is the star of the advertising world and sets up an agency with his friend Frenk. He marries a colleague, Carmen, who goes into the marriage knowing he sleeps with other women constantly. They have a child, they move out of the city, everything appears to be working. Then Carmen is diagnosed with breast cancer, and Stijn does not give up his habits for the illness either. The film does not excuse him and leaves the judging to the audience. It is adapted from Kluun's autobiographical novel, one of the best-selling Dutch books ever written. Reinout Oerlemans's first feature, and the highest-grossing Dutch film of its year. Carice van Houten plays Carmen.
