TENDERNESS

Separated for 15 years, 50-somethings Frans and Lisa immediately drop everything when they hear news that their son Jack has fractured his leg while skiing with his new girlfriend. Needing to collect both Jack and his car, they set off for the day-long drive from Brussels to the French resort of Flaine. There is little animosity between the two – they have clearly kept in touch – but as the journey commences, old irritations and habits begin to surface. What do they still feel for one another? Indifference, rancour, jealousy? Or perhaps complicity, friendship... and, who knows, love?
