What Makes Us Boys
What Makes Us Boys
2021, English. Directed by Timothy Wennekes & Janet van den Brand.
Growing up is difficult. There is so much more to it than a bit of discomfort and some acne. It takes courage to become who you really are. Daan is very close to his younger brother Sam. But when Daan starts high school, their relationship changes. An intimate portrait of growing up in the digital age, which can be wonderfully rich and terribly lonely at the same time.
