synopsis

43-year-old Hans's life used to be that of your average passionate Amsterdammer, with a rewarding job and vibrant personal life, until an unfortunate incident overturned his life completely... Now an outsider with only a few hours' worth of energy on a good day, Hans suddenly finds himself reevaluating his very core. As he struggles with the loss of no longer adhering to modern society's value system, Hans carefully starts to allow new metrics of success into his life.
