The Past Is Never Gone

Moving successor to the successful debut 'What you don't know'
You are who you are, but people and events from the past still influence your life. Leen, Kassandra and Sean each experience this in sometimes dramatic ways. The home situations are drawn with razor-sharp clarity. Three different characters, three different attempts to tackle their problems and grow into adulthood.
'Mother Earth,' says Leen. 'No harm will come to anyone who takes good care of her. The Indians in Peru have the custom of pouring the first sip of their drink on the ground, as a tribute to pachamama.'
When Leen returns from a trip to South America, she seems even more superstitious than before. Together with her friends, she performs strange rituals. Without her if-this-then-that games, the days have no color.
"I think you've changed so much, Kassandra. Like you don't have a mind of your own anymore and only do what he wants."
'Don't be ridiculous, Ester. Of course I have to take him into account. That's what happens when you have a steady boyfriend. You'll find out for yourself later.'
Does Kassandra let her boyfriend dominate her or does she have more control than anyone thinks?
Sean licks his lips, smacking his lips. He wipes his dirty fingers on the kitchen curtain. They should hang the towel more visible.
Is Sean who he pretends to be? Does he have a grip on his life or is life catching him by the throat?
