Plot
Two small town Dutch boys whose socially unnatural friendship is so close, they care nothing for human or divine rules and lose all grip on reality, sliding into violent crime.
Sinekatalog’s take
A grim Dutch crime drama about two boys whose obsessive friendship pushes them beyond morality. The tone is bleak and the escalation disturbing, with a convincing portrayal of dangerous codependence. Not comfortable, but absorbing for fans of dark psychological stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
