Its not even fucking funny how better this is then most modern dutch films.
Its got a strong emotional core and fun characters.
Its really sad to see someone beloved one fall to alzheimer.

Jaap and Maartje have been together almost 50 years. Grumpy old Jaap is no longer terribly interested in doing much, but Maartje, despite her occasional confusion, is still keen to embrace everything life has to offer. When the couple receive a letter from an old holiday friend, Maartje manages to convince her reluctant husband to visit him in Southern Europe. After many years, the pair get into their old car to embark once more on a journey through a completely changed Europe - bickering all the way, but also uncovering one memory after another. During their trip, Jaap reaches the painful conclusion that his wife is showing increasing signs of dementia. Realising that everything is about to change, they rediscover just what it is they love about each other.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle road movie where a bickering long-married couple rediscover what they mean to each other while confronting the encroaching shadow of illness. It's funny and touching in equal measure, grounded in the specific texture of a decades-long partnership.
