Luuk is a truck driver who seems to be a goodhearted father for his eight-year-old daughter Isabel. After Luuk divorced from his wife Karen, Isabel lives with her mother. Whenever Luuk has the chance he takes Isabel to the sea or for a ride in his truck, which only carries sand. On one of those occasions Luuk discovers the horrific reason why Isabel is so quiet that day. From that moment on Luuk has to cope with a new and unexpected situation. Luuk kidnaps his daughter in an attempt to protect her, but he slowly loses control.

ada the leading man is my tpye
Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Bardlerx Strictly average movie
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Eduardo Zarate Gonzalez Coming from watching it at the Worldwide Short Film Fest in Toronto. Beautifully shot, this is a melancholic short film that manages to engage and leave a mark difficult to forget.The two main roles are played with sparse dialogs and a touch of quirkiness that however, remains true to the spirit of the characters. But this movie is as much about a dad/daughter story as it is about hopes, intimacy, and impotence. And what really sets the tone of the story is the stage: a scenery that alternates the dreams of childhood and the omnipresent threat of those dreams brutally sand-buried by reality. A threat that, as the synopsis suggests and the movie gradually reveals, is more real where it is more hidden.Great casting, great camera, touching short story.
