Abstract:
Jasper Vloemans works at the Tytgat Chocolat manufacturing company, a firm that employs workers with mental health issues for the packaging of their products. He falls in love with one of his colleagues: Tina, a girl originally from Kosovo. When Tina is suddenly deported back to her home country, Jasper and his friends set out on a road trip to find her.
Motivations:
Creating a drama based around a cast of characters with special needs is inspiring and brilliantly original. The series constantly subverted our expectations and leaves the audience with a real sense of hope, restores our faith in humanity and challenges our prejudices.
