Original title
Drift
Drive is an outspoken story about how first love can be overwhelming to the point of oppression. And how every love story revolves around deception. ‘I am that woman. That night is now. Everything before and after is a story.’
“A poignant, dramatic story, enriched with metaphors and symbolism, skillfully jumping in time between present and past, adding an enormous depth.”
Trouw
“A beautiful though merciless retrospection of a marriage gone wrong.”
