The Floor is Lava

Floris, a young entrepreneur about to launch his business, returns to his hometown to visit his childhood friend. His goal is to regain access to an embarrassing Twitter account his friend once created in his name, but the reunion quickly brings back old tensions. As they search for the password and revisit memories from their shared past, they fall back into their old dynamics and it becomes clear that their connection has always been troubled.

Directed by Demian van der Wekken, The Floor is Lava leans on a strong ensemble — Stefan Cappiello, Bart Harder, Luca Tichelman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 0.
