CGiii Comment
This lulls you into a false sense of comfort...light and fluffy in the opening stages - descending into the land of the tearjerker...and it works.
Stuffed full of likeable characters amid a multitude of storylines, Gosschalk manages to involve his audience...it is a little bit silly in places but the final result is a sweet and sad film that oozes kindness - and humanity.
There is one line that will smack you in the face...you'll recognise it when you hear it because it will make you cry...aaaw.
It's a lovely film - as simple as that...

The(ir) Blurb...
When Molly, the 21 year-old sister of Maarten, departs the family home, she leaves her older brother with empty nest syndrome. But it also opens up new opportunities for him, such as the possibility to explore his love for Arthur, a closet gay. Molly and Maarten wrestle with their personal relationships and also their relationship with one another, but fate nevertheless seems determined to strike them both down.
