UIT/ZICHT / A DUTCH DAY (2002)
Gloomy skies, gusts of rain over dark fields. At the horizon a massive dike with somewhere behind it the spaciousness of a grey sea. Secluded in this wet environment, lives a man in a house trailer. He is of foreign descent, alone with his presence. He is killing time, uncomplainingly listening to the clattering of rain, writing a letter to the outside world. A DUTCH DAY gives a suggestive impression of a displaced man on a drizzly day in the Dutch lowlands.
