At Canneseries with the family. (Marnie (screenwriter) Hanna (lead) Idse (producer).

Impressive family saga in which we follow a family over a period of some 45 years. Their lives touch on major historical changes and events, such as the student uprisings in the 1960s and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Yet, above all, The Dream of Youth is a bittersweet family chronicle, showing that real change through stubborn family patterns is harder than it seems, and that the struggle for freedom (for example, on abortion and religion) must be continually re-enacted by new generations. The execution is rock solid across the board, with an outstanding cast, a dynamic visual approach, and a strong script by creator Marnie Blok (Ramses).

Vanaf de tumultueuze jaren zestig tot nu, vertelt DE DROOM VAN DE JEUGD het verhaal van de familie Wander: een gewoon gezin met een ongewoon groot geheim, dat als vergif door de verschillende generaties heen sijpelt.

DONE. Queen of sound, Evelien. ❤️

Childhood Dreams. Almeria, Spain.

Who would have thought that this would be your last role? Dear Ghislaine, you were magnificent as Annet. Modest but sparkling, vulnerable and strong. Always honest, exactly right. Thank you for your confidence. ❤️

You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
