About the film

A fictional short film in which we see everyday moments of a father and a daughter and how life goes during the lockdown. The wishes and dreams of hundreds of women have been symbolically processed in the vision of the future. Look at the interviews on the website.
In 2020, the world will change forever due to the Corona pandemic. Olivia and her father are staying at home together during the lockdown. Her mother works as a doctor in the ICU and her father Fons is in the middle of a financial crisis. Fons has to take care of his daughter alone for the time being, while his own company is on the verge of collapse. Olivia is seven years old and finds every day that her world is changing more and more and getting lonely. Because she now spends so much time with Fons, the bond between father and daughter grows stronger every day. Her father becomes aware that if he acts as a mentor, the world of his daughter Olivia (7 years old) and her future will change.

What motivated you to make this film?

I want to tell stories that make people think. I think the world we live in right now is complicated. Fear dominates. Lack of respect and less tolerance. The position of women is primarily a theme that has fascinated me since 2005. Women and men are not the same, but they deserve equal treatment. That is not the case at the moment. If you just look at the numbers of violence against women, which have risen during the corona crisis. However, as women we cannot do it alone, we must tackle this together with men. That’s what I like about the UN’s HeforShe program (heforshe.unwomen.nl), which I am committed to. Together we can bring about change. I want to leave the world a little more beautiful than I found it. For my children and future generations. I want to do that with my skills and they lie in front of me in the field of media.
