You feel more than atmosphere than admire the story itself. A woman, her husband and his me time, a secret relation and the truth becoming obvious. Beautiful cinematography and inspired construction of drama. A film about marriage, selfinesh acceptance, compromises and vulnerability. And about fragility of lies.
Fair Play (2009)
Blessure ( original title)
In 2008 Roland co-wrote the short “Fairplay” (Dutch title: Blessure) by Johan Vancauwenbergh. The short was Johan’s graduation project. The leads were played by Janne Desmet ( Louise-Louise, Acht), Tom De Hoog ( David, Sara, Wittekerke) and Steven Boen ( Ella, Vermist).
Marie and Steven are a young and happy couple… although so it appears. When Tom, the much younger friend who plays in the same soccer team as Steven, returns a forgotten sports bag, he tells Marie that Steven isn’t showing up for practice anymore.
