Ben Sombogaart

A tragic love story about a man who succumbs to religious mania, dragging his family down with him.

A loving husband and father falls into the hands of an extremely orthodox Protestant sect. Scared of death, he sacrifices everyone and everything to this belief: his business, the respect of his sons. But he never loses the love of his wife. Based on the most successful Dutch post-WWII novel 'Knielen op een bed violen' (Kneeling on a Bed of Violets) by Jan Siebelink.
