Urbanus' other movies (Coco Flanel and Hector) surely were pretty much fun to watch. Especially if you consider them 'just' Belgian -low budget- movies. But this one's really embarrassing. Urbanus plays a loser, about to commit suicide. Renee Soutendijck is really *REALLY* ugly in this movie. You'd really expect better from her, so this makes things also a little more irritating. The story-line, well, I wonder if things could be anymore predictable.

Don't ever rent it, you'll feel ripped off. Don't ever watch it when they play it on TV, you'll feel ripped off (someone stole your time).

Just don't... whatsoever... just forget about it. I think that's the best for everyone, especially for Urbanus and Renee Soutendijck.

One of the main characters Urbanus has always been known for his comedy works. So this movie was always branded as one of his worst works, and poorly made movies.

But this is personally one of my favorite movies of his. From the story to the execution this movie it is very heartfelt and grounded in reality.

It perfectly captures the pains of depression and a person attempting to move on by helping another human being.

Both main actors play their role perfectly. Though initially the main characters actions might seen strange. If you understand the male character helping just desperately wants his life to have meaning his actions start to make sense.

Overall the movie, even for it's time, might feel cheaply made. But if you allow yourself to be swept away by it's charm you can have an enjoyable evening watching this classic, but sad movie.
