A renowned psychiatrist/addiction expert, who himself was not seen as a child, struggles with his failure as a father when it turns out he completely overlooked his own son's addiction, and must now learn whether his love can truly be unconditional.
Bram Bakker is a renowned psychiatrist who helped thousands of addicts—yet remained blind to his own son Fimme's addiction. This documentary follows Bram's quest for reconciliation, set against his childhood trauma of not being seen by his parents. Through intimate conversations backstage during their joint cabaret shows, beach runs where he confronts his demons, and a painful interview about his mother, Bram discovers his drive for success echoes his past. Only by facing his own pain can he learn what unconditional love truly means—for his son and himself.
