At a small cemetery in Zeeland, two contrasting worlds gather for Bart’s funeral: his traditional, religious family and his loving friends from Amsterdam’s 1980s gay community. Through childhood memories, interviews, and Bart’s drawings, toys, and paintings, director Koert Davidse reconstructs the life of a brother he once knew intimately, then lost to distance—and eventually to AIDS at just 28. Filmed as a personal gesture to bridge the gap between two lives and two cultures, this tribute to one individual becomes a broader poignant reminder of queer resilience, family reconciliation, and the lasting imprint of a life lived authentically, however briefly.

This feature will be preceded by heartfelt Dutch short, Where We Stay (DIR: Florence Bouvy).
