GFF Tonio

The impact of losing a child is captured with warm understanding and gut-wrenching performances in this exceptional drama. Tonio (Chris Peters) is a shy student still trying to find his way in the world. His father, novelist Adri (Pierre Bokma), would like to see a little more ambition in his boy. His mother Mirjam (Rifka Lodeizen) is the peacekeeper. When Tonio is killed in a car accident, every memory of being a happy family is coated in a sadness that will never fade. Coping with the death, and the guilt of what might have been said or done differently, is the basis of a heartbreaking film.
