Synopsis

Jaap has been together with Maartje for almost 50 years. While the grumpy Jaap is not very keen on doing things anymore, the sometimes slightly confused Maartje is still full of life. When the couple receives a letter from an old holiday friend, Jaap is reluctantly convinced to visit him in Southern Europe. The two travel in their old car through a completely changed Europe; bickering, but also recalling one memory after another. Along the way, Jaap realizes that his wife is suffering from dementia.
