-No, not yet.

But I do want them. I mean "we".

I would think twice if I was you.

Great shower.

Taco wants to know if you'll eat sushi.

The others are there already.

Have you read it yet?

Good piece. Though pretty intense

you have to do the entire play nude.

I've gotta run. Can I borrow some money?

-You know where to find it.

You're a gem. See ya.

Well, you live way beyond your

means. You regularly eat out...

I'm not going to scrimp on food,

then I might as well do myself in.

And the mortgage,

its simply too expensive.

Yes, but what am I supposed to do?

-Can't your ex-husband help?

Out of the question.

-Have you even tried...

We haven't exchanged a word

in more than two years.

I'm staying here. No matter

how many threatening letters I get.

Threatening letters?

-I'd say so, yes.

I can show them if you want me to.

Oh my God.

Why didn't you forward these? These are

distress warrants. From eight days ago.

I thought, I was eligible

for a postponement, right?

My tax payments are always postponed.

-How can you be so offhand about this?

I'll have to go talk to them

first thing tomorrow.

I hope I can still do something, but

I'm afraid you're facing foreclosure.

Or even worse.

I really don't know if I can undo this.

I don't want to lose the boat.

I want to stay here.

My daughter was born here.

We thought you forgot.

Of course not.

I'd never forget Friday.

Same time, same station?

No. Same Nico, same Eef.

Just have to put

my briefcase away.

Where does an actress like her live?

Or are you sworn to secrecy?

Not at all. She lives on a boat.

-Living on a boat, how dreadful.

The view is quite pleasant.

HOUSE WINE:

So now I can finally bring you home?

-As if you haven't before.

Sure. But not once

Lex came into the picture.

You're married, Bert.

Something wrong?

Can you borrow me 62.000 euros?

Sorry, how much?

I'm in debt.

Haven't paid my taxes in years.

Where was I supposed to get it?

-Jesus, Anne.

Prick.

Sorry.

Hey, we'll think of something.

It'll be okay.

It won't be okay. I'll pay you back.

You know that, right?

We just bought a trailer home.

I don't think llse...

Forget it.

Anne, did you get a chance

to read it yet? I would like...

Sorry, but I have something

more important on my mind.

Okay, I'll call you tomorrow.

-Yeah.

Emma.

Emma.

You're pregnant.

-Four and a half months.

Bert, this is Emma.

She used to take care of Masja.

Yes, we've met. Hi, Emma.

-It was good, you were all wonderful.

I mean the piece. It's been a long time

since I've been to the theatre.

How is Masja?

How old is she now?

-Twelve.

Twelve already.

I wanted to call sooner, but...

It doesn't matter.

Paula van der Oest

Paula van der Oest (born 1965) is a Dutch film director and screenwriter. Her 2001 film Zus & Zo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. With her final exam at the Dutch Film and Television Academy, Zinderend, she won a Cannon Award in 1988. In the following years, she worked as an assistant director, until she returned in 1994 as a director. For the VPRO-series Lolamoviola she made the short movies Coma and Achilles en het zebrapad (Achilles and the Zebracrossing). With the first, she won a Golden Calf for the best television drama. In 1996 Van der Oest made her first long movie, De nieuwe moeder (The New Mother). Her husband at the time, Theu Boermans, had a role in this movie (later, he would also have a role in Zus & Zo). De trip van Teetje (the journey of Teetje) was produced in 1998, with Cees Geel as a louche entrepreneur who buys a Russian cargo ship. With Zus & Zo, loosely based on Chekhov's The Three Sisters, Van der Oest directed her first mainstream film in 2001. The realistic characters and the relations among the individuals from her former movies remained central, but there was more humour added, and an English script doctor made some changes, resulting in an Oscar nomination. However, the general public left the movie unseen. Hereafter she created the English thriller/fairytale Moonlight (2002) about the relation between a 13-year-old girl and a balloon swallower of the same age; the film Madame Jeannette, situated in the Suriname-community (which was a great success in the Amsterdam Bijlmer area in 2004); and the film Verborgen gebreken (2004), based on a book by Renate Dorrestein. Moonlight was entered into the 25th Moscow International Film Festival.In 2001, she wrote the screenplay for Meral Uslu's telefilm Roos and Rana. Currently, Paula van der Oest is planning a second film about Suriname and she is working on a movie based on Heleen van Royen's De gelukkige huisvrouw (The Happy Homemaker). more…
