In this intimate portrait, loved ones like Marcel Musters, Elsie de Brauw, Betty Schuurman and Johan Simons talk candidly about Jeroen Willems. The actor, who died suddenly on 3 December 2012, was blessed with an unparalleled talent, but also struggled with fear of failure, perfectionism, an overweening zest for work and deep loneliness. Personal statements by Willems himself are heard in a voice-over that accompanies images shot after his decease in his vacated Amsterdam house. Unique footage shot behind the scenes show the top-ranking actor at work.
