Family Weekend
by Pieter van Rijn
Synopsis | Cast & Crew | Technical Information
Pieter Severijn, a wealthy businessman, invites his children to his grand estate for the weekend. None of them is looking forward to this event: Roderick is too busy saving his company from bankruptcy, Fleur has just started a silence-retreat on her ashram, and Benjamin is too much involved in his artistic career. However, when Pieter informs them that he has an important announcement to make, the interest of the children is immediately raised. All three children arrive at the estate, but what awaits them there, is the last thing they expect.
