Stricken

A man in the prime of life faces his wife’s terminal illness.  A raw, moving and shameless ode to love.

Stijn loves life and life loves him. He’s got his own business, a wonderful daughter and Carmen, the hottest wife in the world. There’s no need for her to know that he occasionally enjoys the pleasures of other women. But when she contracts breast cancer his world falls apart and they end up on a rollercoaster ride of radiation and chemotherapy treatment. He is there for her. Always. No matter how hard it is. But then he meets the cancer-free oasis Rose (100’, 35mm).
