The Poem ‘Samuel’ is part of Mischa Andriessen’s book ‘Winterlaken’ from 2019. The poems in this book form a web of connections to add extra layers of possible interpretation. Now that the poem is on its own in this short film, Andriessen and Brentjes searched for new ways to add those layers. A story about a mother and her son and their bond that is as fluid as the water in which she last saw him.
