Tirza

CFF-15 certification
/ WORLD PREMIERE
Director: Rudolf Van Den Berg.
Netherlands, 2010. 100 mins. Dutch with English subtitles.
Jörgen Hofmeester's world is crumbling. Forced into early retirement and harassed by his ex-wife, the only part of his life that makes sense is his beloved daughter Tirza. But now even this certainty is shattered when she disappears on holiday in Namibia. After weeks of terrifying uncertainty, Jörgen goes searching for her, but the heat, his drinking and bad memories combine to unhinge him. His only ally is a child prostitute called Kaisa. Together they journey into the wilderness on Tirza's trail to discover her fate. With a powerful, multifaceted performance from Gijs Scholten van Asschat as Jörgen and featuring the stunning Sylvia Hoeks (named as one of European films Shooting Stars by European Film Promotion) this is a journey that is full of subtle twists, and with dark and unsettling depths.
