Half Leeg
Daan (25) has no job, he is maxing out on his student loan and he refuses to finish his college degree. At first he seems just another typical member of the Peter Pan generation. However, there is something else going on with him. He is extremely cynical and socially anxious. He tries his best to shelter himself as much as possible from the outside world. When one of his best friends returns home from a trip abroad, Daan is forced to leave the comfort and safety of his apartment behind. Through the course of a weekend we follow him as he tries to blend into a variety of social situations. Even though he is surrounded by friends and strangers, Daan is mostly occupied with the thoughts within his own head. Is this confrontation with the outside world enough to trigger a moment of reflection within Daan about his own attitude? Or will he return home at the end of the weekend to the safety and isolation he has gotten so used to? A portrait of cynicism as seen through a generation Y lens.
