ONNO THE OBLIVIOUS / ONNO THE ONWEETENDE, Viktor van der Valk, fiction, Netherlands, 2014, 29'12''

Onno is stuck. He’s lost. Many questions. Few answers. And on top of that there’s this strange feeling. This feeling that he knows, but doesn’t understand. This feeling that has come to him much earlier, so it didn’t start here, but where? Where did it start?
