Synopsis
Shot entirely with subjective camera, a story which centers around a brother who has an unusually close affinity for and affection towards his younger sister. For most of the film, the sister-fixated protagonist, Martin is represented by his video camera. Constantly filming, he dances frenetically around the object of his affections, Daantje, after bullying his way back into her life following a long absence. Martin is seen only when the camera falls into other hands or is left stationary. Daantje attempts to keep the unpredictable Martin at arm's length, pursuing a relationship with her new beau, Ramon, whose initial amusement of her ever-present sibling soon wears thin. However, when finally Martin's sister wises up to his game she takes control of the camera, and turns the tables on him, ultimately revealing the true nature of their childhood tryst.
