film profile]), Clean Hands is a drama reflecting on the consequences of crime in an apparently normal family.
Eddie (Jeroen van Koningsbrugge) and Sylvia Kronenburger (Thekla Reuten) live in the south of Amsterdam with their two children, Daphne (Bente Fokkens) and Yuri (Nino den Brave). Everything they own is financed by Eddie’s drug schemes. Sylvia has so far turned a blind eye to her husband’s activities, but as the police begin to close in, she will try to escape and protect her children.
Clean Hands was produced by Phanta Film along with Mulholland Pictures and Eyeworks. Dutch Film Works is handling the theatrical distribution.
