De kinderen van de Hondsberg - Céline en Michael

Short documentary, 1998, 40 min.

In Oisterwijk in the province of Brabant is The Hondsberg Institute, a home for mentally handicapped children who had severe traumas in their childhood. In a series of five documentaries an objective camera sketches a picture of everyday events in the institute. The series also looks at the feelings of hope and disappointment among parents and staff. In the double portrait Céline and Michael, Céline's traumatic past prevents her from becoming attached to her adoptive parents and Michael too has for years been wrestling with problems resulting from his parents' divorce.
