“Job is two metres tall and has been my baby for 58 years. I’ll keep taking care of him as long as I can”, says 91-year-old Tineke. But for how long can she keep this up? And who really needs who?
The 91-year-old Tineke pays weekly visits to her mentally disabled son Job in the home he lives at. She takes him to the swimming pool and tries to cheer him up a little by playing games. Tineke will always be there for Job, she explains in this documentary, but considering her age this will be harder and harder. Driving her car, the fuss in the dressing room, the constant attention that Job requires. There will be a moment when Tineke will no longer have the energy. But what will happen with Job then?
