A journey through history, a confrontation with silence. In Between Shore and Ship, three grandchildren-Jip, Kyron and Benjamin-take their Dutch-Indian grandparents to the place where they once set foot on Dutch soil. With patience, love and curiosity, they open conversations about a past that was kept silent for decades. How does that hushed history influence their identity today? For many Indian families, the colonial past remains a painful and often unsaid legacy.

After Indonesia's independence, thousands were forced to migrate, their stories tucked away, not to be talked about again. Now three young descendants are taking an important step to break that silence. Through meaningful conversations, with both tender and confrontational moments, Between Land and Ship weaves these personal journeys into a larger story of colonialism, migration and intergenerational trauma.
