Vlam

Olivia (Sophie Lindner) and her mother (Thekla Reuten) have a stubborn bond: intense, unpredictable, but inseparable. After a fierce confrontation, Olivia is removed from her home and ends up in emergency shelter. There she encounters other young people who, like her, carry their wounds with them and gradually this new living situation tilts her perspective.

Every time she goes home, she sees that her mother is not an average parent, but a capricious, destructive influence - a friend you'd rather not have. Olivia faces an impossible choice: let herself be swallowed up or finally break free. Vlam is the energetic debut by Daphne Lucker, written by Rosita Wolkers, about friendship, complex family ties and daring to let go.
