GMovier - 极影客

Here is a movie that is moving and sad, although it comes in one of the funniest packages I have seen. It tells the story of the straight Simon (Cees Geel) and his gay-friend Camiel (Marcel Hensema). The movie starts in 1988, Holland. Simon hits Camiel with his car and drives him to a nearby hospital. After Camiel has revealed he is gay Simon replies with better you then me, and we know what kind of guy Simon is. Although Simon is pretty hard on Camiel, especially with his gay-comments, they become friends. Simon owns a hash bar (in Holland we call it a coffee shop), has a girl named Sharon (Rifka Lodeizen), and two kids (one girl, one boy) with an ex-wife in Thailand. Once a year Simon and his friends all go to Thailand because Simon has things to do there. Since Camiel is part of the group he joins them. Events on the island make sure Camiel and Simon stop seeing each other.
