How long can you keep fooling yourself?
Tako has moved back to his hometown from Amsterdam to take over his late father’s bike shop. He is surrounded by friends, enveloped in the finest in IKEA furnishings and doted on by a loving wife, Sandra. Everything seems comfortable and ideal. But soon the cracks begin to appear in the veneer and the couple starts to weaken under the burden of its superficiality.
Sandra clearly has a self-image issue that soon spirals into a cat-and-mouse game of distrust with Tako as they do their best to avoid discussing it. Complicated by the announcement of a pregnancy and family expectations, the tensions mount, and director Sander Burger leads us into a scathing analysis of a marital lie. Fearless and occasionally squirm-inducing performances by both leads make HUNTING & SONS. a dramatic spectacle to see. It will tug at your insecurities and reveal the dread of monogamy and the middle-class life as nothing but fictions stretched over a void of uncertainty.
