Manslaughter
ThrillerDrama
Doodslag (Dutch for "Manslaughter") is the story of Max, a paramedic who is repeatedly hindered in performing his duties by loutish behaviour. As his ambulance hurries towards a complicated childbirth, some youths prevent Max from reaching the distressed woman in labour. Spurred on by the emergency and the incendiary words of a TV pundit, he reaches a boiling point and forcefully hits one of the men obstructing his ambulance. Max's strike has far-reaching, unintended consequences.
VIBE
This film feels like a pressure cooker. It’s a raw, urban descent into frustration and the unintended consequences of a single, explosive act. The city itself feels like a character, buzzing with a tense, almost suffocating energy.
