Johan
Johan Dros is born as eleventh consecutive son of soccer-obsessed pa Rinus, who raises his boys mainly as the small island Texel's team. Johan's rare reprieves from training for a sport he doesn't care for cease when ma dies. After captain brother Johhny sort of steals his local girl-friend Evy, Johan leaves for Amsterdam, where he becomes a hairdresser and would-be singer. Soccer, a vocal TV talent-hunt and Evy will bring them all together again, but also raise unprecedented strife in the Dros family

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a poignant narrative around the conflict between familial obligation and personal passion, using soccer as a framework for exploring tradition's weight. It relies on the tension between brothers to drive a story that is as much about love and loss as it is about sport.
What lingers after the credits is a quiet reflection on finding one's own path away from the pitch. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Nicole van Kilsdonk
