Here is a short film by Film Shot “Broken Contact”, by Rico
Pel and Jordy Pijper.
The complete film (23 min) is not embeddable but is available
here. The trailer above is displayed.
A young gay man, Jason (Jordy Pijper), 18, is living with
his dad in Amsterdam. When dad gets a
brain tumor and dies, Jason, emotionally distracted, starts failing in school. But he remembers a lost brother in London and
goes looking for him.
At one point, Jason says he needs to raise money for his
father, but that would not make sense in a European country with single-payer
health care, unless dad is on a waiting list and can’t get surgery o time at all. He is also gay-bashed or bullied in school, which does not make sense in Amsterdam.
The film (2.35:1) impressive photography of Amsterdam and
London.
The film is in English with Dutch subtitles, which make Dutch
look very close to English.
