FRI

A colorful group of nine travels the roads of their everyday world. Through bars of (self-) imposed restrictions, longing glances glide over the fields and rivers of personal freedom that surround them. Sometimes they step outside to smell the grass, but they never stay long.

President Nick van Tilburg finds a certain comfort in the Thorn by his side, even though his heart belongs to the Rose. Caught between these bars of feelings, will Rose be the one who chooses her freedom?

FRI is a highly artistic, absurd, tragic-comic story about a holiday romance. The film is full of deeper layers, literary and symbolic references whose overall interaction focuses on voluntary imprisonment in social standards versus the courage to break free from them. All this in just six minutes, different languages and a colorful nine-person cast.

This film was made for the 48 Hour Film Project Rotterdam 2013.
