Category: Edition 2005

Synopsis

Remco, 12 years-old, is a fanatic little soccer player with only one dream: to play in the Dutch national team. He is the top scorer of his team and insiders predict a great future for him. Erik, his father, is possibly even more fanatic in coaching Remco and convinced that he can make it to the national team. But Remco’s world falls apart when his dad unexpectedly dies. Now Remco, his mother and his sister have to cope on their own. Remco misses Erik so terribly that he doesn’t feel like playing anymore. Not even when he is invited to play for the regional team. One magical evening Remco meets his father’s ghost who has come to train him again.

Director’s statement

“With IN ORANGE we deal with a serious theme in a light way. How do you deal with the death of someone who is so close to you? We play with the thought that a lot of people still talk to deceased loved ones in their minds. It brings funny and touching situations. It’s the combination that appeals me the most in this film; a sometimes comic story, that handles a severe subject, but leaves the audience with a light feeling”.
