In this Dutch drama, based on the novel by Leon de Winter, a Jewish man named Max Breslauer experiences a life-changing moment. After getting behind the wheel of his sports car and almost mowing down a Hasidic family walking to their synagogue on the Sabbath, Breslauer questions his success as well as the meaning of his life. The film focuses on what transpires when Breslauer hires a psychiatrist in Amsterdam for a full day in order to unburden himself and find some much needed answers as to what is making him feel so troubled.
