There seem to be very strong opinions concerning this psychological drama. Mental illness (i.c. Postnatal paranoid psychotic episode) is the key plot in this well executed and well acted movie.
We can slowly see the main actor Ward Kerremans getting oversensitive, loosing touch with reality and getting overly involved in paranoid schemes in the same way an actual psychotic episode can evolve (I worked for over 20 years in a psychiatric hospital so this was very recognizable for me). Getting oversensitive, loosing touch with reality (not thiniing of the consequences of the actions like unplugging the freezer), having a short temper, being overly obsessed with stories, losing contact woth the people nearby ... . All part of the dusease, same disease due to which the mother committed suicide.
Fortunately this time the main character gers saved and received medical treatment (cfr' medication besiees the bed at the end of the movie). I don't really understand the reviews who don't see the plot. All the elements are there in the movie and quite easy to link.
In contrary to other reviewers, I thought it was 90 minutes well spent.
