Jacob Bisschops

A short film based on the short story "De Binocle" by Dutch writer Louis Couperus. It tells the story of a nervous man who on one evening while going to the opera becomes the victim of his own obsessive thoughts.

A multi-narrative drama set in a typical southern Dutch village that prepares for the holidays. It turns out the compulsory conviviality can’t drown out the everyday problems of some of the inhabitants: troubles at the town council, the silent struggle of a lonely grandmother, and a bullied teenager.
