SILVER

[TULIPANI: LIEFDE, EER EN EEN FIETS]
When Anna (Ksenia Solo, ORPHAN BLACK) travels from Montreal to scatter her step-mother's ashes in her Italian hometown, she meets Immacolata (Lidia Vitale), an old family friend who helps Anna fill in the blanks about her father, Guake (Gijs Naber). As we're swept back to 1953, Guake embarks on a five-day bike trip from the flood-soaked Netherlands to the heart of Puglia, and Anna learns how the determined young farmer went on to introduce Dutch irrigation to the region, build a bustling tulip business and confront the local mob. Mike van Diem's (CHARACTER, THE SURPRISE) colorful romantic comedy celebrates the power of storytelling and the joy of re-discovering your roots.
