De Terugreis

Jaap (Martin van Waardenberg) has been together with Maartje (Leny Breederveld) for almost 50 years. Where the grumpy Jaap no longer feels like doing things, the sometimes confused Maartje is still full of zest for life. When the couple receives a letter from an old holiday friend, Jaap reluctantly lets himself be persuaded to visit him in Southern Europe. So many years later, the two travel in their old car through a completely changed Europe; bickering, but also reminiscing one memory after another. On the way, Jaap comes to the painful realization that his wife is suffering from dementia. Realizing that everything may change, they learn again why they love each other.
