A poignant documentary about the history of a family haunted by World War II. On the basis of archive material, documents left behind by her great-aunt Ro Miller and stories told by her father Eli Asser, Hella de Jonge reconstructs what happened to her family during, before and after the war. How they became aware of the danger, how they fled, how they hid, how they survived and how they died. And how, after the war was over, it continued to weigh on their lives. In Hella’s words, “The doctor advised my mother to have children, to help cope with the incredible loss.” A portrait of her grandmother, who died in the war, still hangs in her father’s living room. The filmmaker’s relationship with him has always been difficult. Fragments of memory never before discussed run together during an emotional journey embarked upon together by father and daughter to places of significance in the history of their family.

Alquin: One More Night
—

One More Night was released 27 years after the live album On Tour (1976), which closed at the time. Tarenskeen and Bakker had started The Meteors in 1977 and Michel van Dijk had recorded a record with Rinus Gerritsen from Golden Earring . However, Alquin slowly gained cult status and the call for a reunion in the compact disc era continued. A concert in Delft followed in 1995 , followed by a number of concerts in 1996. In 2003 Alquin regained a foothold on the pop stages, which resulted in a performance at Cultuurpodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer, which was recorded on both CD and DVD . The more definitive character of this reunion was evidenced by the fact that a new song was also released: Sweet Surrender by Bakker, Tarenskeen and Van Dijk. However, One More Night failed to chart in the Album Top 100 .
