Jort Ploos van Amstel

Three couples were observed by Jort Ploos van Amstel and Ilse Lenstra in their most personal setting. The observations and conversations that took place in their homes form the basis for the short, theatrical film scenes in which the couples—without acting experience—play themselves in an ode to everyday conflicts and moments of joy that connect couples.

An outcast alien conspiracy theorist and a curious student find each other through a shared plot about the music teacher, Perry Koehoorn, whom they suspect of being an alien.

In a family where birthdays invariably end in arguments or tense silences, Crissi decides enough is enough. She approaches her birthday as a design experiment, transforming the familiar gathering into an absurdist stage to bring her family's ingrained patterns to the surface and, in doing so, start a new conversation.
