Synopsis:
As the line between mentorship and manipulation slowly begins to blur, 12-year-old Daan faces the most terrifying challenge of his young life - distinguishing his football coach's attachment from abuse.
Twelve-year-old Daan admires his football coach Ries (45), who gradually becomes a significant influence in his life and slowly manipulates him into a web of abuse. Daan's behaviour begins to spiral out of control – he skips school, gets into fights, and distances himself from family and friends. Inside Daan‘s turbulent emotional world, validation and special attention gradually intertwine with shame and secrecy, which in many ways echoes the psychological sharpness of Adolescence.
