For good intentions, for themes, for performance, for moral - just a beautiful film. The basic sin - desire to cover to much. It is beautiful but not convincing. The story is interesting but it is only a sketch. Chess boxing, the glory - not happiness source- , the fights and the power of others against Luc Moulin are almost obscure and, in essence, the only light is represented by the admiration of son. But, sure, an interesting short film.

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.
