Story
In the Dutch village, where patriarchal traditions are strong, widower Fred lives. He is an exemplary community member and parishioner of the local church. At one time, he kicked his son out of the house for being homosexual . Fred meets Theo the tramp and out of compassion settles him at home. Soon, a friendship develops between them, in which the neighbors mistakenly perceive a sexual background. As a result of clashes with others, Fred will eventually be able to understand and accept his son.
The director of the film emphasizes that this story is not about conflict with social norms, not about the breakdown of stereotypes, but about the internal conflict of a person, about self-awareness as you are, and liberation. [one]
