Good Neighbours (Goede Buren)

.

When Rotterdam resident Bep de Bruin is discovered dead in her home, having gone unnoticed for 10 years, the city is left shocked. How could such isolation persist for so long? In response, Ada (59) and her best friend Wilma (70) volunteer to help a local campaign aimed at combating loneliness. Their mission involves going door-to-door, checking in on elderly citizens in search of those needing help. They meet Jan, isolated for seven years, struggling with his independence, and Tilly, a strong-willed woman who only has her dog for company and refuses any support. Overwhelmed by the growing loneliness, Ada and Wilma realize this reflects a wider crisis. They refuse to stand by, choosing instead to take action and help
