Land van Johan

Johan returns to his native village after twenty years away. He recognizes none of the old men sitting on the bench by the shop. His childhood home has been sold, and a gas station now stands where the apple orchard once grew. This 2026 drama explores the ghosts of the past that remain when nothing is left of home but a name on a map. Johan tries to piece together fragments of memory, but every conversation with the locals only distances him further from understanding why he returned at all. The film balances on the edge between personal history and a social study of dying settlements, where time flows differently.
