& Sons


Imperious patriarch Jan (Hans Dagelet) suddenly dies after one of his nightly visits to the room of Siti (Hayati Azis), his Indonesian housekeeper.
With the disorder in the household further compounded by a workers' protest, his widow Agathe (Renée Soutendijk) demands the return from Europe of Jan's pompous son Cornelius (Florian Myjer) and heavily pregnant daughter-in-law Josefin (Lisa Zweerman). When they all learn of Jan's decision to bequeath his estate to his son with Siti, the ensuing power struggles add a further degree of turbulence. The demise of European colonialism has never been captured in a more vibrant and aesthetically exuberant manner (much like a Dutch master’s painting) than in this delightfully cynical film.
