Young Hearts premiered in Zürich! 🤩🇨🇭

23/04/2024

ZOMERVACHT is ! Het indrukwekkende speelfilmdebuut van Joren Molter gaat over de jonge Brian, die tijdens een broeierige zomervakantie zit opgescheept met de zorg van zijn zwaar verstandelijk gehandicapte broer Lucien. Maar hoe zorg je voor iemand als je niet weet wat hij nodig heeft? Hoe maak je de juiste keuzes als je nog zoveel te ontdekken hebt? Gebaseerd op het gelijknamige boek van Jaap Robben.
