Jorien van Nes : 2013
Following the death of his French wife, Ward returns to the Netherlands after years of absence. He wants to move back to the village of his birth and hires a Romanian handyman, Doru, to fix up his house. Ward misses his wife and struggles to settle into the local lifestyle. One day Doru doesn't show up, and Ward impulsively takes charge of Doru's mischievous nine-year-old son Mihai. When they can't reach Mihai's mother Alina for the regularly scheduled cellphone call, they decide to drive to Romania. What they don't know is that Alina, who has stayed at home with her other two children, and has gone down to the Black Sea for a few days of vacation, is also frantically trying to reach her husband and son. Their journey brings both Mihai and Ward home, but Ward must now reconcile himself with his past and his future. Jorien van Nes's feature debut premiered at Nederlands Film Festival 2013, and screened at International Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg 2014.
