The Man Who Had His Hair Cut Short poster

Overview

Govert Miereveld is a lawyer from a small Flemish town who also teaches in a school for girls. He harbors a secret love for one of his young students, Fran, whom he loses touch with after her graduation. Some time later, Miereveld has to attend an autopsy, and the shock of the experience deeply affects his mental balance. He finds out - or he believes so - that Fran has become a popular singer. He arranges to meet her to finally reveal his feelings. An ambiguous but perhaps tragic denouement follows which might be a figment of the protagonist's disturbed mind.

01:04:45 Maybe she meant at the theatre?

01:10:46 D'you know, Fran, this afternoon I experienced something awful.

01:13:12 It seems that that's possible too.

01:16:30 Govert, I owe you the truth.
