Synopsis
Stijn (Barry Atsma) loves life and life loves him. He’s got his own business, a wonderful daughter and Carmen
(Carice Van Houten), his beautiful wife.
There’s no need for her to know that he occasionally enjoys
the pleasures of other women. His
heart belongs to Carmen, and that’s all that matters.
Their idyllic world is shattered when Carmen goes to the doctor and
hears the diagnosis every woman dreads.
Life falls apart and they embark on a roller-coaster ride for
survival. Though
supportive at first, Stijn soon escapes from the new harsh reality
into the arms of the sexy, care-free Rose.
As Carmen is bravely going through treatment, Stijn will
learn what it really means to love.
Based on the best-selling novel that was translated into 26
languages, LOVE LIFE (A Woman Goes to the Doctor) enjoyed huge
domestic market success with a gross of over $13 million at the box
office. Produced by
Oscar® winning producer Hans de Weer (ANTONIA’S LINE) the movie
stars internationally acclaimed Carice van Houten (Paul
Verhoeven’s BLACK BOOK, Tom Cruise/Bryan Singer’s VALKYRIE and
REPO MAN).
