MovieDocumentary
Documentary about the Dutch writer Wim Hofman, the most acclaimed living writer from Zeeland. As a writer, poet and visual artist, Wim Hofman is completely unique. He writes dark stories with a gloomy beginning and a gloomy ending. No fairy tales with a 'happy ending' and certainly no sugary children's books, but nevertheless always full of humor and unexpected twists. The film depicts the production of Hofman's latest work and addresses various thematic periods in his oeuvre by looking back on his life.
