Saskia Boddeke

A film that moves between the magic of an opera and the depth of a documentary about – and featuring – professional actors with intellectual disabilities.

Saskia Boddeke was so impressed by KamaK, a theater group for professional actors with intellectual disabilities, that she decided to make a film with them. Shifting back and forth between events onstage and behind the scenes, the film blends the magic of an opera and the depth of a documentary. Fact and fiction merge, sometimes also for the actors themselves, who deeply feel the emotions they portray.
