(auto-translated from Dutch)
In a silent room we see the elderly couple Noud and Mieke holding each other's hands. Noud is very ill and is about to die. The silence is broken when we get a glimpse into Mieke's thoughts. As music begins to play quietly, reality fades and Noud and Mieke walk together into a beautiful hall, ready for a last dance.
The film alternates between their dance as an older couple and flashbacks from different phases of their lives. After each flashback, we return to the dance. Each movement in the dance forms a precise transition to a memory: as teenagers they bump into each other, their clumsy footwork matching the steps of the dance. We see their shy smiles and the moment Noud holds Mieke's hand for the first time, after which the camera returns to the dance in which the same hand is held, but now full of a lifetime of shared experiences.
The flashbacks continue to their adult years. We see a heated argument between Noud and Mieke. The emotional charge of that moment is resolved when Mieke finally lays her head on Noud's shoulder - an image that returns in the dance, where the same gesture is repeated. Then the music slowly begins to fade. The dance stops and we return to reality. We are back in the living room, where Mieke is still holding Noud's hand. He has passed away. Mieke remains sitting quietly next to him, she has a feeling of peace. She has relived their life in her thoughts, celebrated their love, and now she is ready to let him go. The room is silent, the music has disappeared, with one last smile towards her husband, Mieke dares to let go of his hand.
