\n\tEXCLUSIVE: \u00a0Carice van Houten<\/a> hits the Berlinale this month in Mees Peijnenburg\u2019s Dutch-language drama A Family and Deadline can unveil the trailer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feature sees the Game of Thrones and Black Book star return to the big screen for the first time in six years, after a slew of TV dramas including thriller Malice, in which she co-starred opposite Jack Whitehall and David David Duchovny.<\/p>\n

\n\tPeijnenburg\u2019s emotional drama follows a family breakup through the perspective of 14-year-old Eli and his 17-year-old sister Nina, as they oscillate between loyalties and anger toward their parents and a longing for emotional safety and a sense of home.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u00a0\u00adimmediately felt a deep connection to the project; it\u2019s a human story about family dynamics and our universal need for emotional safety when the world beneath us begins to tremble,\u201d said van Houten.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe is joined in the cast by Pieter Embrechts as the father and rising young talents Celeste Holsheimer and Finn Vogels who take centerstage.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is the second feature from Peijnenburg who is regarded as one the Netherlands<\/a>\u2018 hottest rising directing talents. His debut\u00a0Paradise Drifters\u00a0premiered at the Berlinale in 2020, following in the wake of his short films A Hole in My Heart and Even Cowboys Get to Cry which played at the festival too.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe production reunites Peijnenburg with Paradise Drifters cinematographer Jasper Wolf who has worked on a dozen films since, including David Verbeek\u2019s Dead and Beautiful, \u00c1sa Helga Hj\u00f6rleifsd\u00f3ttir\u2019s A Letter From Helga, Guy Nattiv\u2019s Golda and Halina Reijn\u2019s Babygirl.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is produced by Iris Otten and Nathalie van der Burg of Amsterdam-based Juliet at Pupkin, in co-production with producer and director team Michiel and Lukas Dhont<\/a> of The Reunion, makers of Cannes Cam\u00e9ra d\u2019Or winner Girl and the Cannes Grand Prize winner and Oscar-nominated Close.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRarely is a divorce drama shown from the children\u2019s perspective. I wanted to explore that territory where arguments are fought over the children\u2019s heads and how the children become a mirror of their parents\u2019 behavior. I wanted to make a film about the interplay between being adults and children, and in particular the way adults become children in their doing,\u201d said Peijnenburg of the film. <\/p>\n
