Due to excessive rainfall, the Land van Maas en Waal is threatened with flooding. Whereas all villagers have been evacuated, stoic old Jacoba refuses to vacate her little house on the dyke. Filled with a longing for death, she sits and waits for the dykes to give way. She kills time by listening to the radio alerts, by reading the Bible and by praying to God to hurry up. Until she is disturbed by the arrival of her 12-year-old granddaughter Fleur, who foils her plan. Gradually, the film unravels the reason for the old woman's peculiar behaviour, at the bottom of which lie indigestable past events. Despite attempts to get rid of Fleur, the unyielding girl is determined not to abandon her grandma. The confrontation with her grandchild forces the elderly lady to reconsider her intention.

Renildo & Vanildo

Eva van Barneveld, Heleen D' Haens

In their village in Guinea-Bissau, everyone knows the twins Renildo and Vanildo, because they’re always dancing. Mama Dila takes care of them in the village, because their mother died when they were just a year old. They only see their hardworking father from time to time. They’re going to visit him again soon, and as a surprise, they want to dance for him. Their father’s approval is very important to them, so they practice a lot. But he’s mainly focused on their grades, will he also appreciate their dancing?
