What to do with Maartje?

When actress Maartje announces that she is dying but "absolutely doesn't want to talk about it," chaos is complete. As she decides to play on until her last breath, their theater company falters and, above all, their long-standing friendship.

Jacqueline Blom, Mark Rietman, Annick Boer and Dick van den Toorn shine in this absurd and sharp comedy as four friends struggling with a universal question: how do you say goodbye?

Directed by Pieter Kramer, it is a whirlwind montage of hilarious rehearsals and moving confrontations, while nobody talks about what is really going on. About the awkwardness in talking about death, the painful silences, the inappropriate jokes. About the denial of the end and the blind panic of how to go on.

A new Dutch comedy by Pieter Kramer and Don Duyns with theater icons Jacqueline Blom, Mark Rietman, Annick Boer and Dick van den Toorn.
