Link Up: Selin Akkulak x Vlam

Met Haagse actrice Selin Akkulak (Mocro Maffia, Oogappels) kijken we op donderdag 27 maart naar Vlam, geregisseerd door Daphne Lucker.

Vlam

De tijdelijk uit huis geplaatste tiener Olivia wil niets liever dan terug naar haar moeder Selma, ondanks hun eindeloze, verhitte ruzies. Terwijl ze in crisiscentrum Girla haar plek vindt tussen beschadigde leeftijdsgenoten en goedbedoelde hulpverleners, begint ze haar wereld anders te zien. Langzaam groeit het besef hoe verstikkend haar symbiotische band met haar moeder werkelijk is.
