Champagne (Vue Plus)

When Maarten (Leo Alkemade) is told that his father Hans (Huub Stapel) is incurably ill, he decides to take him to the Champagne region. The highlight of the trip is the little train riding through the wine cellars of Epernay. A final destination that for Hans, who likes to enjoy a drink, is like a trip to heaven. March's vrouw Loes (Jennifer Hoffman) and his mother Sophie (Beppie Melissen) wave the two men off. They leave in high spirits, only to find out after two streets that they are probably the least suitable father and son ever for this bonding trip. While conversations in the car are awkward, they mostly find each other during culinary indulgences in local restaurants. Their old patterns continue to haunt them, but it is the small, unexpected moments that bring the two closer together.
