You don’t always get the trip you planned - sometimes you get the one you need.
met het team van NUDES hebben we een film gemaakt rondom mentale gezondheid: enkeltje parijs
Als Meike niet mee mag op werkweek naar Parijs, maar moet survivallen in de Ardennen, lijkt dat al erg genoeg. Maar wanneer ze daar geconfronteerd wordt met rouw en verraad, verliest ze langzaam alle grip...
‘Enkeltje Parijs’ laat zien hoe moeilijk het kan zijn om jezelf te laten zien – en hoe ver jongeren kunnen gaan om niet afgewezen te worden. Een verhaal over vriendschap, moed en leren houden van jezelf.

One Way to Paris is a tender, atmospheric coming-of-age mystery about self-worth, friendship and the quiet battles young people fight beneath the surface.
Meike was supposed to go to Paris.
Instead, she’s stranded in the Ardennes, forced into a team-building weekend she never asked for. When one of the teens suddenly disappears, the group is confronted with fear, suspicion and the uncomfortable truths they’ve been avoiding — about each other, and themselves.
Rooted in real conversations with young people about pressure, loneliness and the search for belonging, the film blends naturalistic performances with a moody, cinematic landscape. What begins as an awkward school trip slowly unravels into an intimate portrait of vulnerability, resilience and unlikely connection.
