Heroin

Jos is irredeemably addicted to drugs. His mornings usually start with waking up in a homeless shelter. He spends the rest of the day wandering through the streets of Groningen, picking pockets and using alcohol, cigarettes or heroin. But today is supposed to be different. Jos will try to get his girlfriend back once again and put an end to his desolate lifestyle. The low-budget film is the feature debut of Dutch filmmaker, Rene Houwen. It was created under the auspices of the independent company, Shaftkip Films, which was founded by Rene Houwen, himself and his creative partner, Thijs Gloger. Their cooperation started in 2009 with Holland, a film directed by Thijs Gloger. (Febiofest)
