Ongekend succes (2016)

What do you do if you dream of success but have secretly always felt that it isn't meant for you? While nearly 30-year-old filmmaker Emma Boelhouwer has been grappling with this question for years, her former classmates Xander Vrienten, Géza Weisz, and Victor Crezée—boys she once played with in the sandbox—have grown into successful bassists, actors, and DJs. Why did they manage to lead successful lives, while she feels her life has yet to begin? In this personal, tragicomic documentary, Emma delves into the lives of her successful former classmates to find an answer to the question that has been occupying her for years: is there still hope for Emma Boelhouwer?
