Floris van Doorn (1999) is a director with an infectious enthusiasm. He has a clear preference for films that are grand and immersive, with a strong emphasis on distinctive worldbuilding. His stories are characterized by dark humor and daring themes, all while maintaining a lighthearted tone that makes them accessible to a wide audience. In 2025, he graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy with this dark comedy that once again displays his signature: finding humanity in the most bizarre situations, with a sharp edge and plenty of humor. With this film, he aimed to show how society can put people in a straightjacket, preventing them from truly choosing for themselves, and ultimately from ever becoming genuinely happy.
