About That Has Never Been My Name
Rianne and Freek have three adopted children. They have a stable and happy family until the eldest son, Gilles (17), doubts his parents' love and sets off in search of his roots in Belgium. The family atmosphere is disrupted. Freek manages to calm the conflicts by talking, but swallows a lot of feelings. This affects his health. Rianne doesn't know whether she can keep the family together on her own.
Directed by Eric Oosthoek, That Has Never Been My Name leans on a strong ensemble — Ella van Drumpt, Gees Linnebank, Guido Kisman — 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 drama titles of 1999.
