Ik, moordenaar
In the gloomy Dutch countryside of the 1950s a lonely eight-year-old boy drags himself to school and back every day. On his route he lets out his frustration on the same wooden pole every time he passes, until one day he runs into another boy doing the exact same thing. The two boys instantly become best friends and spend the following days running up and down the hills and playing war games in the woods. This pleasant distraction however does not free the boy from his miserable daily existence. As the friendship evolves it becomes clear that it’s a matter of time until the boys’ innocence will succumb to a gruesome, but inevitable, fate.
