Brittle

Brittle centers on the parents of five sisters who have been married for forty years. The daughters come together in their family beach house to create a video tribute for their parents, leading to confrontations and moments of joy.

The narrative delves into themes of rivalry, silence, and the need for solidarity within a family. The film is an intimate adaptation of a play performed by the same actresses, showcasing the complex relationships among siblings as they navigate their shared history. The work was recognized at the Netherlands Film Festival in 1997, where the five actresses collectively received the Golden Calf for Best Actress.
