In this documentary, Tim and his adoptive father look back on his adoption from Indonesia in the 1970s. How can the very best intentions turn out so wrong?
In Kind van de Tijd, director Huibert van Wijk tells the story of his brother Tim, who was adopted from Indonesia, and adoptive father Lex. They look back very differently on Tim’s adoption in the 1970s and the resulting conflict between them. Now that Tim wants to build a bond with his recently retraced Indonesian family, Huibert brings together the adoptive father and adopted son. For the first time, they discuss the consequences the adoption had, or still has, for all people involved.
