Zie Mij Doen
Poetic black-and-white documentary about the residents of a care centre for people with a mental disability.
Please note that this film is in Dutch, without subtitles.
Still today, mentally handicapped people are regularly regarded with pity. But like everyone else, they have feelings and moods that can clash. They have their own thoughts, desires and opinions; in short, their own lives. In this documentary, Sofie, Mathias, Nadine, Sam, Quan and Jessica share their thoughts and emotions with us. While unravelling their feelings, they teach us about the world and especially about ourselves. Looking is allowed (but please don’t stare)!
Klara Van Es, Netherlands, 2018, 84 min. Dutch spoken, without subtitles.
