“Do you want to shoot a documentary about my life? But that would be boring,” says on camera the son of Alex de Ronde, the Deaf Child of an important player of Dutch cinema. However, armed with parental patience and perseverance, the director brings together the material he gathered for decades since the first diagnosis and presents a fascinating, tender and funny documentary about an ingenious man with iron will, but also about the second thoughts and guilt that nests inside every loving family.
